Why ADA 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 compliance for stackoverflow.com — and any website you manage — is the first step toward avoiding legal action and making the web accessible to everyone.

What does this compliance 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 compliance?
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.
