The short answer

This free accessibility audit tests a page against 22 WCAG 2.2 Level AA success criteria, covering colour contrast, image alt text, form labelling, ARIA validity, heading order, landmarks, focus visibility and minimum target size. Each result cites its specific WCAG criterion. Automated testing catches roughly 30–40% of accessibility issues, full conformance requires manual review.

Context

Why it matters

Be straightforward about this one. US web accessibility lawsuits have run in the thousands annually for several years, and most target the same handful of failures: missing alt text, unlabelled form inputs, insufficient contrast, and keyboard traps. Those are exactly what automated testing catches well. What it doesn't catch is most of the rest, whether alt text is meaningful, whether a screen reader flow makes sense, whether a custom component behaves correctly for keyboard users. Automated tooling reliably identifies around 30–40% of issues. Anyone selling you a one-click compliance guarantee, an overlay widget included, is selling something that doesn't exist. This audit gives you the measurable portion, mapped to specific criteria, so you know what's real and what still needs a person.

Methodology

Methodology

01

Paste any public URL

We fetch the page the way a browser and crawler would, no login walls, no probing.

02

Collect signals once

HTML, headers, robots/sitemap, and optional Lighthouse lab data feed every tool from one pass.

03

Score with published weights

Each check has a fixed weight that sums to 100. N/A checks leave the denominator so empty pages aren’t unfairly punished.

FAQs

Free Accessibility Audit FAQs

Does passing mean I'm ADA compliant?

No. Automated tests catch 30–40% of issues. Compliance requires manual testing and, usually, an audit by a specialist. Anyone claiming otherwise is overselling.

What's WCAG 2.2 AA?

The current W3C accessibility standard at the level most regulations reference, including Section 508 and the EU Accessibility Act.

Do accessibility overlay widgets fix this?

No, and there's a substantial body of practitioner and legal opinion that they can make things worse. Fix the underlying markup.

Why does 2.5.8 target size appear?

It's new in WCAG 2.2 (published October 2023), requiring a 24×24px minimum for interactive targets.

Is my site legally required to be accessible?

Depends on your sector and jurisdiction. Public bodies and many commercial sites in the US are covered. We're not lawyers, ask one.

What can't this test detect?

Whether alt text is meaningful, logical reading order for screen readers, video captions, custom widget keyboard behaviour, and cognitive accessibility. All need humans.
