Free Accessibility Quick-Check
Check your website for common WCAG 2.1 AA risk patterns before an ADA demand letter finds them first. Free, one URL, no login.
Most ADA website lawsuits target the same handful of missing basics
Missing alt text, a form field with no label, a broken heading structure, or CSS that hides keyboard focus completely — none of it takes a redesign to fix, but all of it shows up first in an ADA demand letter or a plaintiff’s attorney’s automated scan.
This free check runs your page through the same WCAG 2.1 AA risk patterns we screen for before any client site goes live, so you know what to fix before a letter lands, not after.
- No visible focus outline detected on interactive elements — a common WCAG 2.1 failure and one of the most frequently cited issues in ADA demand letters.

The Four Scoring Categories
- Images & Alt Text
- Whether images on the page have real alt text instead of missing it entirely or using a filename or generic placeholder.
- Forms & Labels
- Whether form fields are properly labeled, required fields are marked for assistive technology, and radio or checkbox groups are grouped correctly.
- Structure & Navigation
- Whether the page has a language attribute, one clear heading hierarchy, and semantic landmarks like main and nav.
- Keyboard & Focus Signals
- Whether keyboard users can see where focus is, tab order isn’t overridden, and clickable elements are reachable without a mouse.
Key Terms
- WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines)
- The international standard for web accessibility, currently at version 2.2. Level AA is the benchmark most courts and regulators reference.
- Alt Text
- Descriptive text attached to an image so screen readers can convey what it shows to blind and low-vision visitors.
- Focus Indicator
- The visible outline that shows which element is currently selected via keyboard, required for anyone navigating without a mouse.
- ADA Title III
- The part of the Americans with Disabilities Act covering 'places of public accommodation,' which courts have repeatedly applied to business websites.
- Screen Reader
- Assistive software such as JAWS, NVDA, or VoiceOver that reads page content aloud or converts it to braille for blind and low-vision users.
Accessibility Quick-Check FAQ
Is this a full accessibility audit?
No, and we want to be very clear about that. This is an automated technical scan of one page’s public HTML for common WCAG 2.1 AA risk patterns most often cited in ADA website-accessibility demand letters. It does not test with a screen reader, does not check color contrast values, dynamic or JavaScript-rendered content, or PDF documents, and is not a substitute for a full accessibility audit or legal review. Think of it as a fast first pass, not a certification.
What exactly does it check?
It checks four things: whether images have real alt text instead of missing it or using a filename as a placeholder, whether form fields are properly labeled and grouped, whether the page has a language attribute, a clear heading hierarchy, and semantic landmarks, and whether keyboard users can actually see and reach everything on the page without a mouse.
Why do ADA website lawsuits matter for a small business?
Courts have applied Title III of the ADA to websites for years, and demand letters and lawsuits over inaccessible websites have targeted businesses of every size, not just large enterprises. Fixing the common patterns this tool flags meaningfully reduces that exposure.
Can this replace a full accessibility audit?
No. This is a static HTML scan, so it cannot test real screen-reader behavior, precise color contrast values, PDF documents, or content rendered by JavaScript after the page loads. Use it as a fast first pass, then bring in a full audit for anything higher-stakes.
Can I check a page that requires a login?
No. The tool can only read pages that are publicly reachable, and it blocks local and internal addresses for security reasons.
Is this really free?
Yes. Enter a URL and your email, and you get your results immediately. No credit card and no sales call required to see your score.
What do you do with my URL and email?
Your URL is used only to fetch and score that one page and is not stored beyond your result. Your email is used to send your results and, occasionally, related compliance and marketing content. You can unsubscribe at any time.
What if my score comes back low?
A low score just means there are specific, fixable patterns worth reviewing. Your results include a plain-English list of what was flagged in each category, and you are welcome to book a free strategy call if you want help prioritizing fixes.

ADA/WCAG exposure tends to travel with two other risk categories on the same site.
- Healthcare Marketing Compliance Scanner — accessibility and healthcare-marketing compliance are frequently reviewed together for treatment and medical sites.
- Mobile Usability Quick-Check — tap-target sizing and legibility issues usually show up in both an accessibility audit and a mobile-usability check.
- Cookie Consent & Privacy Compliance Scanner — consent banners are themselves a common accessibility failure point (keyboard traps, poor contrast) worth checking in both directions.
