ADA Title II Checker

Every US state and local government now works against a hard technical standard for web content: WCAG 2.1 Level AA, set by the DOJ rule under Title II. This ada title ii checker combines a full-site scan against exactly that standard with a 12-step readiness checklist covering scope, technical fixes, documentation, and process. Entities serving 50,000 or more people passed their April 24, 2026 deadline already, so ada title ii website compliance is no longer a future project for them, while smaller entities and special district governments have until April 26, 2027. Enter your domain, run the assessment, and track the remaining organizational work in one place.

Why ADA Title II Checker

Common questions

Is the April 2026 Title II deadline already in effect?
Yes. April 24, 2026 has passed, so public entities serving 50,000 or more people are expected to conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA now. Entities under 50,000 people and all special district governments have until April 26, 2027.
Which standard does the DOJ web rule actually require?
WCAG 2.1 Level AA, applied to both web content and mobile apps. That's why wcag 2.1 aa for government sites is the benchmark this tool tests rather than WCAG 2.0 or 2.2.
Can a government website accessibility checker cover PDFs and mobile apps?
The automated scan covers web pages, while the readiness checklist tracks the rest of the rule's scope separately: remediating or replacing inaccessible documents, and auditing mobile apps against WCAG 2.1 AA. Older documents may qualify for the archived-content exception.
Does the readiness checklist cover contractors and third-party tools?
Yes. Organizations providing services on a public entity's behalf fall under Title II, and one checklist item specifically covers adding WCAG 2.1 AA requirements to procurement contracts. Tools you buy become your compliance problem.
How does the ada title ii checker differ from the ADA Compliance Checklist?
This tool targets government entities under Title II, where the DOJ rule sets a formal standard and dated deadlines. The ADA Compliance Checklist covers private businesses under Title III, where WCAG 2.1 AA is the de facto standard courts and settlements reference.
Will passing the automated scan make our city site compliant?
No automated tool can promise that, and you should distrust any that does. The scan finds the machine-detectable subset of WCAG 2.1 AA failures; the checklist pairs it with keyboard testing, screen reader passes, and document remediation. Dated scan reports demonstrate good-faith progress.
Where is my Title II readiness progress saved?
Locally, in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, which also means progress won't follow you to a different machine. Export or note your status before switching devices.
