Free Accessibility Compliance Checkers By Country Standard

To help you check website accessibility against the correct regulation, this page brings our free compliance checkers together in one place, one for each major law. Pick the one that applies to your organisation, or check multiple regions if you operate across borders. Every check is free, covers your homepage, and takes about thirty seconds. No account and no card needed.

European Accessibility Act (EAA) — European Union

If you sell products or services to consumers anywhere in the EU, start here. The European Accessibility Act has applied across all 27 member states since June 2025. It is the widest-reaching accessibility law in the world right now.

The EAA uses a European standard based on WCAG, the same guidelines our free checker uses to test your homepage. This automated check will detect what's wrong with your website and analyse how serious it is.

You'll get a clear compliance status, every issue counted and graded by severity, and which of the four WCAG principles needs attention first. All this sent straight to your inbox.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) — United States

Is your website ADA compliant? This is one of the most searched accessibility questions in the US. While the the ADA itself doesn't publish a specific technical checklist, WCAG Level AA is widely used as the technical benchmark for website accessibility.

That's exactly what our free check tests your homepage against.

Run a scan and you'll know where you stand: your compliance status, plus a count of every issue found, graded critical to low. A real starting point twoards understanding your website’s accessibility.

Section 508 — US Federal Agencies and Their Suppliers

Section 508 compliance is a condition of doing business with the US federal government. It applies to agencies directly, and it reaches every vendor who supplies them, because accessibility requirements travel through procurement contracts.

The standard is built on WCAG Level AA, so 508 compliance testing starts the way all accessibility work does: detect the issues, analyse how serious they are, fix them, effectively.

Our free check handles the detecting and the analysing for your homepage, so your team knows exactly where to start.

Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) — Canada

AODA compliance applies to Ontario's public sector and to private organisations with 50 or more employees. Unlike most laws on this page, it also requires accessibility compliance reports.

AODA website compliance is measured against WCAG Level AA, which is exactly what our free check tests.

Know what your filing would say before you have to make it. We can help with your compliance status, issue counts graded by severity, and the WCAG principle that needs attention first.

UK Accessibility Regulations — United Kingdom

Accessibility requirements in the UK depend on the type of organisation. Public sector bodies must meet WCAG 2.2 AA and publish an accessibility statement; private businesses answer to the Equality Act's broader protection against disability discrimination.

Either way, the practical starting point is identical: detect what's actually broken. Our free UK check tests your homepage against WCAG 2.2 AA, the exact standard current GOV.UK guidance points to.

Every issue is counted and graded by severity, so whether you're drafting a statement or reducing risk, you know exactly where to start.

Check your homepage now and understand your compliance status, along with issues count, graded by severity.

Web Accessibility Standard — New Zealand

New Zealand Web Accessibility Standard has introduced WCAG 2.2 Level AA in March 2025, the exact standard our free accessibility checker tests.
