Why Continuous Code Fixes Beat Overlays

Stop Lawsuits with Real Engineering Remediations

Serial plaintiff law firms use automated scanners to find violations. Generic $500/yr overlays do not fix your underlying code, leaving you vulnerable to demand letters.

Zero Latency Impact

Our assistive widget is strictly under 5 KB with zero dependencies. No 150 KB bundles, no third-party tracking, and zero drag on Core Web Vitals.

Actionable Code Fixes

Receive exact CSS selectors, contrast ratios, and HTML remediation snippets so your development team can resolve root-cause barriers permanently.

Court-Recognized Safe Harbor

Publish a hosted accessibility statement with direct barrier intake channels to establish documented good faith under ADA Title III.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Free Scanner

Everything you need to know about automated testing, WCAG benchmarks, and ADA compliance.

What guidelines does this scanner evaluate against?

Our scanner tests your pages against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level A and Level AA standards, as well as Section 508 and ADA Title III legal requirements.

Can an automated scanner make my site 100% compliant?

Automated scanners catch 30% to 57% of all WCAG issues—specifically the machine-detectable errors like color contrast, missing alt text, keyboard focus indicators, and form labels that plaintiff law firms scrape for. For complete compliance, combine automated weekly monitoring with proper semantic HTML.

Why do accessibility overlays fail in court?

Overlays like AccessiBe or UserWay attempt to patch the DOM in the user's browser, but they cannot fix server-rendered HTML or keyboard trapping. In 2024, over 800 federal ADA lawsuits were filed against websites that had overlays installed.

Can I share this scan report with my development team or agency?

Yes! Every scan produces a permanent, shareable public report URL (e.g. accessibilityshield.org/report/yourdomain.com) with detailed violation cards and remediation guides.
