The Website Accessibility Scanner uses AudioEye’s automated issue detection software to check your site against accessibility standards like the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

You can use your scan results — which include the most severe, number of, and common issues, such as color contrast, on your page — to start fixing errors.

Yes. Once you scan a page, you’ll see an option to scan more URLs. Feel free to scan additional pages or an entirely new site. Want to test multiple pages at the same time? Sign up for a free 14-day trial to scan your entire site.

No. Our scanner is designed to reveal accessibility issues on your page, not make your site accessible. If you want to make your site accessible, consider our full accessibility services — including automated testing and remediation, expert audits from certified accessibility experts, and access to our suite of powerful developer tools.

No. Our scanner does not make your website compliant — but it does provide insight into accessibility issues that affect the user experience for people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual impairments, hearing impairments, cognitive impairments, and motor impairments.

No. However, our team of certified accessibility experts can perform Mobile App Audits for both iOS apps and Android apps. Once the audit is complete, our team will deliver a report with screenshots of each issue and suggested remediations.

Yes. You can test your website’s accessibility on any browser. Simply open your preferred browser (e.g., Chrome or Safari) and enter the URL you would like to test.

Based on data from claims reviewed by AudioEye between July 2021 and July 2022, the accessibility issues cited most often are:

• Missing image descriptions or alt text
• Empty links and buttons
• Info and content structure inaccessible to assistive technologies

Other common accessibility issues include poor color contrast ratio, keyboard functionality barriers, and inadequate touch target size on buttons.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a US law that prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in all areas of public life. Title III of the ADA addresses businesses specifically, applying to such places as restaurants, private schools, and office buildings.

Based on legal precedent and guidance from the US Department of Justice, businesses must also create accessible websites for people with disabilities to comply with Title III of the ADA.

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), created by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), are a set of web standards that aim to make the Internet a more inclusive and accessible space for all. Many jurisdictions use WCAG as the benchmark for accessibility compliance, and in the United States. There are significant legal precedents for treating WCAG guidelines as the gold standard for digital accessibility. Learn more about WCAG conformance, and understand the differences between WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 conformance.

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are organized by three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

Level A is considered the minimum degree of accessibility and covers basic web accessibility. Level AA is considered the mid-range degree of accessibility and covers the most common barriers people with disabilities encounter on the web. The highest degree is Level AAA and is the uppermost level that can be reached for website accessibility. The standard conformance degree is Level AA.

If you have conformance at a higher level, you will have conformance at the lower levels. For example, if you comply with Level AAA, you also comply with Level AA and A and if you comply with Level AA, you also comply with Level A.

To be fully ADA compliant, your site must meet WCAG 2.0 AA requirements. Our scanner results show accessibility errors based on WCAG, helping you determine whether your site meets accessibility requirements or not. You'll be able to see the top issues on your site and the criteria that they fail.

No. While AudioEye integrates with all major CMS platforms, you do not need to set up any integrations or install scripts on your website for the accessibility scan to be completed.
