Why You Need an Accessibility Check

95.9% of the top one million websites have detectable WCAG 2.2 failures, according to the WebAIM Million report. That means almost every website on the internet has accessibility barriers that prevent people with disabilities from using it -- and that exposes site owners to real legal risk.

In 2024, over 4,000 ADA web accessibility lawsuits were filed in the United States, a 37% increase from the prior year. The average settlement is $35,000, and some cases have resulted in six-figure judgments. Small businesses, e-commerce stores, and local service providers are the most common targets -- not just large corporations.

Our free accessibility checker helps you find issues before a plaintiff's attorney does. We scan your page in a real Chromium browser using axe-core -- the same testing engine used by Microsoft, Google, and Deque -- and report every violation with a plain-English explanation of what is wrong and how to fix it. No accessibility expertise required.

How It Works

  1. Enter your URL in the scan form above. We accept any publicly accessible web page.
  2. We launch a real browser (Puppeteer + Chromium) and load your page exactly as a visitor would, including JavaScript rendering.
  3. axe-core runs a full WCAG 2.2 audit covering contrast ratios, alt text, form labels, ARIA attributes, keyboard navigation, heading structure, and dozens more rules.
  4. You get a detailed report with every issue categorized by severity (critical, serious, moderate, minor), plus plain-English fix instructions you can hand to any developer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the accessibility checker really free?
Yes. You can scan any public URL for WCAG 2.2 accessibility issues at no cost and with no account required. Our free tier lets you run unlimited manual scans on one page at a time. If you need scheduled monitoring, multi-page crawling, or PDF reports, check out our paid plans starting at $19/month.
What does the accessibility checker test for?
Our scanner uses axe-core -- the same engine trusted by Microsoft, Google, and the U.S. government -- inside a real Chromium browser. It tests for WCAG 2.2 AA and AAA violations including color contrast, missing alt text, unlabeled form fields, keyboard navigation issues, ARIA misuse, heading structure problems, and more.
How long does a scan take?
Most scans complete in 15 to 30 seconds. We load your page in a real browser, wait for JavaScript to finish rendering, and then run a full accessibility audit. You will see results as soon as the scan finishes -- no waiting for an email.
Do I need to create an account to use it?
No. You can run a free accessibility scan right now without signing up. Creating a free account lets you save scan history and track your sites over time, but it is completely optional.
What should I do with the results?
Each issue includes a plain-English explanation of what is wrong, why it matters, and exactly how to fix it -- no accessibility expertise required. Start with critical and serious issues first, as these are the violations most likely to trigger ADA lawsuits. For a deeper analysis, visit our full Accessibility Scanner page.
