Website accessibility audit, free and instant
See where your site stands against WCAG (the standard behind ADA, the EAA and Section 508) in about 30 seconds, then get the fixes.
What an accessibility audit actually checks
- Color contrast that's too low to read
- Images missing alt text, and links or buttons with no accessible name
- Form fields without labels
- Broken or misused ARIA, bad heading structure
- Things you can't reach or operate with a keyboard
Automated audit vs manual audit
| What it's good for | Limit | |
|---|---|---|
| Automated (AdaClear) | Instant, repeatable, catches the machine-detectable issues, free to run as often as you like | Catches ~30 to 40% of WCAG |
| Manual expert | Judgement calls: meaningful alt text, reading order, captions, real assistive-tech testing | Slow and expensive, dated the moment your site changes |
The honest answer is you want both. AdaClear runs the automated layer continuously, flags what needs a human, and offers an optional Expert Fix (human experts, AI-assisted, every change human-reviewed) when you'd rather someone just do it.
Why not an accessibility overlay?
Overlay widgets promise a one-click audit-and-fix, but they sit on top of your site instead of changing the code an auditor actually checks, so sites running them still get sued. The FTC even fined an overlay vendor $1M in 2025 for deceptive "compliance" claims. (FTC, 2025) A real audit looks at your real code.
Enter your site for an instant WCAG audit: score + top issues. No overlay, no signup.
Frequently asked
How much does a website accessibility audit cost? A one-off manual WCAG audit from an agency typically runs $2,000 to $5,000. AdaClear gives you an instant automated audit for free, and continuous monitoring plus the full fix list from $19/mo, with an optional human Expert Fix when you want people to do the work.
What does an accessibility audit check? Your site against WCAG: color contrast, alt text, form labels, ARIA, heading structure and keyboard access. AdaClear runs the automated layer; items that need human judgement are flagged for manual review.
Can an audit be fully automated? No. Automated testing reliably catches about 30 to 40 percent of WCAG issues; the rest needs a human. We surface and triage the automated findings and never hand out a fake compliant badge.
