Website accessibility checker.

Scan any page for the ADA/WCAG issues that are detectable in your code: missing alt text, unlabeled form fields, vague links, skipped headings, and more. Every finding maps to a specific WCAG criterion with a plain fix. An honest automated check, not a legal guarantee.

Free, no signup. We scan one live page for ADA/WCAG issues that are detectable in the code. Paste any public page URL.

An honest heads-up: This is an automated check of what can be detected from your code. It is not a legal guarantee or a full manual audit. Automated tools catch only part of all accessibility issues, so use this to find quick wins, not to prove compliance.

Fetching and scanning the page…
Reading your markup against 9 WCAG checks. This usually takes a few seconds.

Find the ADA/WCAG issues hiding in your code

Accessibility lawsuits keep climbing, and most of the issues that trigger them are simple things buried in the HTML: an image with no alt text, a form field with no label, a "Click here" link a screen reader cannot make sense of. This tool reads your page and flags those problems, mapping each one to the exact WCAG success criterion it relates to, with a plain fix. It is honest about its limits: automated checks find common, code-detectable issues, not everything.

What this tool checks

Deterministic, code-based checks parsed straight from your markup: images missing alt text (WCAG 1.1.1), form fields with no associated label (1.3.1 / 4.1.2), missing page language (3.1.1), a missing or empty title (2.4.2), a missing or duplicate h1 and skipped heading levels (1.3.1), empty or generic links and icon-only buttons (2.4.4 / 4.1.2), positive tabindex (2.4.3), and a missing skip-to-content link (2.4.1). Findings are grouped by impact (critical, serious, moderate).

Why accessibility matters (and what it is not)

Under the ADA, courts and the Department of Justice generally treat WCAG 2.1 Level AA as the standard for accessible websites, and thousands of demand letters and lawsuits go out every year, many over the exact issues above. Fixing them widens your audience, helps SEO (clean semantics and alt text are signals search engines use), and reduces legal exposure. But be clear-eyed: passing an automated scan is not the same as being compliant. Automated tools catch a portion of issues. The rest, like whether your alt text is actually meaningful or your page works fully by keyboard, needs a human.

How we are different from the "free scan" widgets

Tools like accessiBe's accessScan and UserWay run a free scan and then push you toward a paid accessibility overlay widget. Those overlays do not fix your underlying code, and they have not stopped lawsuits. In 2025 the FTC fined accessiBe one million dollars for deceptive accessibility claims. Our checks are honest static checks mapped to WCAG with specific fixes, with no widget to sell you, no gated findings, and a clear label that this is an automated check, not legal advice.

Pro tips

  • Start with the critical and serious findings (missing alt text, unlabeled fields, empty links and buttons), they affect the most users and show up most in lawsuits.
  • A placeholder is not a label. Every input needs a real <label for="id"> or an aria-label.
  • Empty alt (alt="") is correct for purely decorative images, it tells screen readers to skip them. Only meaningful images need descriptive alt.
  • Rewrite "Click here" and "Read more" links to describe their destination, many people navigate by jumping link to link.
  • Add a skip-to-content link as the first focusable element so keyboard users can bypass the menu.
  • Treat a clean automated result as a floor, not a finish line. Follow it with a real keyboard test and a manual audit.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a legal ADA compliance guarantee?
No. This is an automated check of what can be detected from your code. It is not a legal guarantee or a full manual audit. Automated tools catch roughly a third to half of accessibility issues, so a clean result lowers risk but does not prove compliance.
What is WCAG and how does it relate to the ADA?
WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) is the technical standard for accessible web content. U.S. courts and the Department of Justice generally point to WCAG 2.1 Level AA as the benchmark for ADA website compliance, so meeting WCAG is how most businesses reduce ADA lawsuit risk.
Why not just install an accessibility overlay widget?
Overlay widgets do not fix the underlying code and have not stopped lawsuits. In 2025 the FTC fined overlay vendor accessiBe one million dollars for deceptive claims. Real accessibility comes from fixing the markup itself, which is what these checks point you toward.
What does this tool actually check?
Deterministic, code-based checks: images missing alt text, form fields with no label, missing page language, missing or duplicate h1 and skipped heading levels, empty or generic links and buttons, missing page title, positive tabindex, and a missing skip-to-content link. Each is mapped to a WCAG criterion with a fix.
What can an automated check not catch?
Things that need human judgment: whether alt text is actually meaningful, color contrast in real rendered pages, keyboard traps, focus visibility, logical reading order, and whether dynamic content announces correctly. A full manual audit covers these.

How this accessibility checker works

Paste any public page URL and the tool fetches that one page and reads its HTML. It runs nine deterministic, code-based checks against the WCAG standard: images missing alt text, form fields with no associated label, a missing page language, a missing or empty page title, a missing or duplicate h1 and skipped heading levels, empty or generic links and icon-only buttons, positive tabindex, and a missing skip-to-content link. Every finding is mapped to the specific WCAG success criterion it relates to, grouped by impact (critical, serious, moderate), and paired with a plain fix. You can copy the whole report for your developer.

The logic comes straight from WCAG 2.1, the standard U.S. courts and the Department of Justice generally treat as the benchmark for accessible websites. There is no widget to install and no score to game. The tool parses your markup and reports only what is actually in the code, so the same page returns the same findings every time.

Be clear about the limits: this is an automated check, not legal advice and not a full manual audit. Automated tools catch only a portion of accessibility issues, roughly a third to half. They cannot judge whether your alt text is meaningful, test real keyboard use, check color contrast in the rendered page, or confirm that dynamic content announces correctly. Treat a clean result as a floor, not a finish line. If you want every issue found and the code fixed, we do full manual audits and remediation, and you can request a free starting review.

Does a clean result mean my site is ADA compliant?

No. A clean scan means none of the code-detectable checks flagged a problem on this page. Automated tools catch only part of all accessibility issues, so a clean result lowers your risk but does not prove compliance. Full compliance still needs a manual audit and real keyboard testing.

Should I install an accessibility overlay widget instead?

Overlay widgets do not fix your underlying code, and they have not stopped lawsuits. In 2025 the FTC fined the overlay vendor accessiBe one million dollars for deceptive accessibility claims. Real accessibility comes from fixing the markup itself, which is what these checks point you toward.
