ADAGuard finds issues.
Overlays hide them.
Courts know the difference.
Overlay widgets inject JavaScript that attempts to compensate for accessibility failures at runtime — without ever fixing your code. The FTC called this misleading. Courts have rejected overlay-only compliance strategies in lawsuit after lawsuit.
ADAGuard is a scanner — it shows you the real violations in your actual code so your developers can fix them permanently. That's what "good-faith effort" looks like to a court.
What overlays do
Inject a widget that attempts runtime compensation — no code changes, no real fixes
What courts want
Evidence of genuine remediation: fixed code, documented testing, ongoing monitoring
What ADAGuard gives you
Real WCAG violations mapped to exact elements, with before/after fix guidance and a compliance paper trail

Built for Teams WhoCan't Afford a Lawsuit
Audit multiple client sites in minutes. Stay ahead of ADA and EAA exposure with automated monthly scans. Generate professional compliance reports your team can act on.
Start Free TrialUS Law Isn't the Only Risk
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) has been enforced since June 28, 2025. Regulators in Germany, the Netherlands, France, and Ireland are already conducting active audits. If your site reaches users in Europe, you're legally exposed right now.
The EAA requires WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance (EN 301 549). ADAGuard checks for EAA compliance in the same scan — no extra setup needed.
Accessibility Overlays Won't Save You
1 in 4 ADA lawsuits in 2025 targeted sites already running an accessibility widget. The FTC fined AccessiBe $1 million in January 2025 for falsely claiming their AI tool made websites compliant. Overlays mask problems — they don't fix them.
Real compliance requires real fixes. ADAGuard shows you exactly what to fix — with code examples.

Every Standard. One Scan.
ADAGuard tests against all 6 major accessibility laws simultaneously — no extra configuration, no separate scans.
WCAG 2.2 Level AA
43 / 55
criteria covered automatically — more than any tool on the market
The current global standard for web accessibility, published by the W3C in 2023. All major accessibility laws — ADA, EAA, Section 508, EN 301 549 — converge on WCAG as the technical benchmark. ADAGuard covers 43 of 55 Level A and AA success criteria automatically, versus 37 for AudioEye and approximately 31 for axe-core alone.ADA Title III
5,000+
lawsuits last year — 40% now filed using AI, near-zero legal barrier to sue
Title III of the ADA requires public accommodations to be accessible. Courts and the DOJ have consistently ruled this applies to websites. Any US business with a public website can be sued — no safe harbor, no grace period. Over 5,000 digital accessibility lawsuits were filed in the most recent full year, with 40% filed pro se using AI tools. Total legal exposure averages $60,000–$200,000+ per case.European Accessibility Act
€1.26M
max penalty or 5% of annual turnover — first lawsuits already filed
Enforced since June 28, 2025, the EAA requires businesses selling to EU customers to meet EN 301 549 (equivalent to WCAG 2.1 Level AA). Non-EU companies are fully in scope if they serve EU users. France filed the first EAA lawsuits in late 2025 against Auchan, Carrefour, and E.Leclerc. Maximum penalties reach €1.26M or 5% of annual turnover depending on the member state.Section 508
VPAT
required for every US federal contract bid — no exceptions for vendors
Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act requires federal agencies and their contractors to make ICT products and services accessible. A VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) or ACR (Accessibility Conformance Report) is required for all federal procurement bids. All federal agencies and their vendors must comply.EN 301 549
27
EU member states — explicitly cited in enterprise procurement contracts
EN 301 549 is the European harmonised standard for ICT accessibility, published by ETSI. It is the technical backbone behind both the EAA and public sector accessibility directives across all 27 EU member states. Enterprise procurement contracts and public tenders explicitly require EN 301 549 conformance, not just EAA compliance.AODA (Canada)
$100K/day
max fine for corporations — enforcement deadlines already passed
The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act requires Ontario businesses and public sector organisations to meet WCAG 2.0 Level AA. Maximum fines for corporations reach CAD $100,000 per day. Large organisation deadlines passed in January 2021, meaning enforcement is fully active. Ontario's approach is being adopted by other Canadian provinces.43 / 55

Checkers run in a real browser, in parallel
Custom Python/Playwright + axe-core 4.7.2. Renders your JavaScript, CSS, and dynamic content — not raw HTML. We call focus() on every interactive element to catch what static scanners miss. ~15 seconds per page.
12
Criteria we tell you need a human review
Focus order, motion actuation, multi-page context — genuinely not automatable by any tool. We document exactly which 12 and why. Every competitor pretends this gap doesn't exist. We don't.
All six standards checked in a single 15-second scan.
