Frequently Asked Questions

What is WCAG 2.1 AA and why does it matter?

WCAG 2.1 AA is the international standard for web accessibility. It matters because ADA Title II requires government websites to comply by April 24, 2026, and private businesses face increasing lawsuit risk. Compliance ensures your site works for users with visual, motor, cognitive, and hearing disabilities.

What is the ADA Title II federal deadline?

April 24, 2026 is the federal deadline for state and local government websites to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards under ADA Title II. Even private businesses should act now — ADA accessibility lawsuits increased 37% in 2025 and the average settlement is $25,000.

Does my website need to be ADA compliant?

If you operate a place of public accommodation (retail, restaurants, hotels, hospitals, schools) or a government entity, your website must be ADA compliant. Even businesses not explicitly covered face increasing lawsuit risk. Scanning your site now lets you identify and fix issues proactively.

How does the free accessibility checker work?

Enter your website URL and PageGuard runs an automated accessibility audit using Google Lighthouse. The scan checks color contrast ratios, image alt text, ARIA labels, keyboard navigation, HTML language attributes, and form labels — then gives you a 0-100 accessibility score with specific issues to fix.
