Issues

Lawsuit risk ranking.
Not WCAG jargon.

We rank every issue by litigation probability — based on 2,437+ real lawsuits. Critical problems surface first. Every issue includes the exact code change, no developer translator needed.

https://example-store.com 12 issues found
Critical

Missing alt text on 23 product images

Screen readers cannot describe these images to blind users. This is the #1 cited violation in ADA lawsuits.

WCAG 1.1.1 - Non-text Content
Critical

Form inputs missing labels

Checkout form fields have no programmatic labels. Users with assistive technology cannot complete purchases.

WCAG 1.3.1 - Info and Relationships

WCAG 1.4.3 - Contrast (Minimum)
Medium

No skip navigation link

Keyboard users must tab through the entire header on every page. Add a "Skip to content" link.

WCAG 2.4.1 - Bypass Blocks

Scan. Prioritize. Fix.
In that order.

Issues ranked by litigation probability — not alphabetically, not by WCAG number. Fix the top 3 and you've eliminated 80% of your legal exposure. No guessing.

No WCAG jargon. Every issue includes the precise code change needed. Hand it to your developer or fix it yourself. No compliance consultant required.

Overlays don't protect you.
They made you a target.

Plaintiff firms scan the web automatically. When they find an overlay on your site, that's a flag — because courts have ruled overlays don't meet WCAG standards. Restaurants, eCommerce, healthcare — 8,667 lawsuits in 2025.

The only defense that works is fixing the actual code. That's what we tell you to do.

FTC fined accessiBe $1M in 2025

The largest overlay company was fined for misleading businesses about WCAG compliance. Courts actively reject overlays as evidence of good-faith compliance.

456 overlay-using sites sued in H1 2025

22.6% of all ADA digital filings targeted sites with overlays installed. Having an overlay doesn't protect you — it signals your code isn't fixed.

$29/mo vs. $5k/year — same scanning power

Enterprise tools charge enterprise prices. We don't have a 200-person support team. We have a better product. Same code-level analysis at 1/10th the cost.

Every other option has a fatal flaw.

We analyzed what businesses use instead — and why each one leaves you exposed.

vs. Overlays (accessiBe, UserWay)

Overlays mask problems.
They don't fix them.

An overlay installs a JavaScript widget that tries to patch accessibility at runtime. Courts have ruled it doesn't work. The FTC fined the market leader $1M. Plaintiff firms specifically target overlay-using sites because they know the underlying code isn't fixed.

✗ Using an overlay increases your lawsuit risk
vs. WAVE (free detection)

WAVE finds issues.
We tell you which ones to fix first.

WAVE is great — it's trusted, free, and accurate. But it gives you 150+ issues with no guidance on priority. You don't know which ones have triggered the lawsuits that are actually being filed. Detection is useless without prioritization.

ℹ WAVE finds problems. We rank them by lawsuit risk and show you the fix.
vs. AudioEye / Siteimprove

Same scanning power.
1/10th the price.

AudioEye starts at $99/mo and scales to $50k+/year. Siteimprove is $15k–$150k/year. They're built for Fortune 500 companies with dedicated compliance teams. If you're a growing business, you're paying for overhead you don't need.

✓ ADAflags: $29/mo. Same code-level analysis. No enterprise sales team markup.

Overlays won't save you.
Fixing the code will.

Scan free. See your top lawsuit risks in under 60 seconds. No signup, no credit card, no jargon.
