ADA Title II Deadline: April 24, 2026
State and local government websites must meet WCAG 2.1 AA. HubSpot Website Grader provides no accessibility auditing or ADA compliance monitoring. PageGuard monitors accessibility continuously — alerting you before violations occur.

Yes — for continuous website health monitoring, PageGuard is a strong alternative. HubSpot Website Grader is a one-time lead generation tool that requires your email and feeds HubSpot’s sales pipeline. PageGuard provides free on-demand scans without an email, plus ongoing monitoring, WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility scoring, and email alerts when scores drop.
No — HubSpot Website Grader does not provide WCAG 2.1 AA compliance scoring or ADA accessibility monitoring. It checks performance, SEO, mobile, and basic security. With the ADA Title II deadline on April 24, 2026, PageGuard provides the accessibility monitoring that HubSpot Website Grader lacks.
PageGuard is free for on-demand website health scans — no email, no signup, no sales outreach. Enter any URL and get four scored dimensions in ~30 seconds: Performance (Core Web Vitals), Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA), SEO (meta tags, headings, structured data), and Best Practices (HTTPS, security headers). Automated monitoring with email alerts starts at $9/month.
HubSpot Website Grader checks performance (page speed, size), SEO (meta title/description), mobile (viewport), and security (SSL). PageGuard covers the same ground and adds WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility scoring, Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, FCP), structured data, security headers, continuous monitoring, historical score tracking, email alerts, and AI-generated fix recommendations — all without requiring an email address.
