How does the $1/month price work?

Our Starter plan gives you the ~5 KB assistive widget (~2 KB gzipped), automated daily scans, email compliance alerts, and a public accessibility statement for just $1 per month. No annual contract required, cancel anytime.

Will this protect my business from ADA lawsuits?

Accessibility Shield provides continuous automated WCAG 2.1 AA audits, instant remediation suggestions, an assistive widget, and a legally compliant accessibility statement to demonstrate good-faith compliance and substantially minimize lawsuit exposure.

How is Accessibility Shield different from accessiBe or UserWay?

Unlike expensive enterprise overlays charging $490+/year that claim to magically fix source code with AI, Accessibility Shield costs only $1/month, uses an ultra-lightweight ~5 KB script (~2 KB gzipped), gives you actual code fixes, and respects screen reader standards.

Will the widget slow down my website?

No. The Accessibility Shield widget bundle is ~5 KB minified (~2 KB gzipped) with zero external dependencies, loading asynchronously in under 50ms with zero impact on Core Web Vitals.

How to Install Accessibility Shield | Multi-Framework Guide

Accessibility Shield includes an ultra-lightweight on-site assistive toolbar (public/widget.js) designed to provide instant visual customizations (contrast toggles, text scaling, dyslexia-friendly fonts) and an integrated barrier reporting form for your website visitors.

Unlike bloated 300KB+ commercial overlays that inject tracking pixels, Accessibility Shield is compiled with pure vanilla TypeScript, enforces a strict < 6.0 KB bundle budget (~5KB minified, ~2KB gzipped), and loads asynchronously without delaying First Contentful Paint (FCP) or Largest Contentful Paint (LCP).

Technical Specifications

Feature	Specification
Bundle Size	5.0 KB minified (~2.0 KB gzipped / brotli)
Load Strategy	Asynchronous non-blocking (`async` / `strategy="lazyOnload"`)
Runtime Dependencies	0 external npm packages (pure vanilla DOM)
Storage & Privacy	User display preferences are saved only in client `localStorage`
Keyboard Accessibility	Full WCAG 2.1 focus trapping, `Escape` to close, and ARIA dialog semantics
Supported Platforms	Any web application, SSG, SPA, or CMS

Content Security Policy (CSP)

If your website uses a strict Content Security Policy (Content-Security-Policy HTTP header or <meta> tag), add our script and reporting endpoint origins to your directives:

Content-Security-Policy: 
  script-src 'self' https://accessibilityshield.org;
  connect-src 'self' https://accessibilityshield.org;
  style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';

script-src: Allows loading the widget script (widget.js).
connect-src: Enables visitors to submit barrier reports to POST https://accessibilityshield.org/api/report.
style-src 'unsafe-inline': The ~5KB widget injects isolated inline styles to render the floating action button and modal dialog without triggering extra stylesheet network roundtrips.

Verification & Troubleshooting

Once you have deployed the snippet:

Verify Live: Visit your website in an incognito browser window. Look for the blue floating shield button in the bottom-right corner.
Dashboard Verification: In your Accessibility Shield Dashboard, click Verify Widget. Our server-side scanner will inspect your homepage DOM and confirm active installation.
Single Page Applications (SPAs): If your framework uses client-side page transitions (e.g. Astro View Transitions, Next.js App Router, or React Router), the widget automatically remains mounted in the DOM without requiring re-execution. For Astro, use data-astro-rerun to ensure smooth re-initialization.
