WordPress powers over 40% of all websites on the internet. That also means millions of WordPress sites are vulnerable to ADA lawsuits.
Common Accessibility Issues on WordPress Sites:
- ❌ Missing alt text on images
- ❌ Poor color contrast in themes
- ❌ Keyboard navigation problems
- ❌ Missing form labels
- ❌ Empty button text
What Is a Free ADA Checker?

Unlike WordPress plugins that slow down your site, AccessiTool's free ADA checker runs externally — no installation, no performance impact.
