Why Accessibility Compliance Matters

95.9% of the top one million websites fail WCAG 2.2 compliance. In 2024, over 4,000 ADA lawsuits were filed with settlements averaging $35,000. Government websites face additional risk under DOJ Title II regulations with deadlines in 2026 and 2027.

Checking accessibility for fema.gov, and any website you manage, is the first step toward avoiding legal action and making the web accessible to everyone.

What does this accessibility check test for?

How often should I check accessibility?
Website content changes frequently, and each update can introduce new accessibility issues. We recommend scanning after every major update, or setting up automated weekly monitoring with a PageAuditors paid plan.
