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

Frequently Asked Questions

Is justice.gov accessible?
Based on our most recent scan, justice.gov scored 93/100 on WCAG 2.2 accessibility standards. This is a strong score, though no automated scan catches every issue.
What does this accessibility check test for?
Our scanner uses axe-core, the same engine trusted by Microsoft, Google, and the U.S. government, to test against WCAG 2.2 AA and AAA standards. It checks color contrast, alt text, form labels, keyboard navigation, ARIA attributes, heading structure, and dozens more rules.
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.
What happens if a website isn't ADA compliant?
Non-compliant websites face real legal risk. Over 4,000 ADA web accessibility lawsuits were filed in 2024, with an average settlement of $35,000. Government websites face additional enforcement under DOJ Title II rules with deadlines in 2026 and 2027.
