Instantly discover your website's accessibility status with our AI-powered analysis tool.
Welcoming Web's free accessibility scanner checks your web pages against four recognised standards: WCAG 2.2, ADA Title III, Section 508, and EN 301 549.
During a scan, the system reads:

The scan produces a report you can act on immediately. For every issue detected, you get:
Welcoming Web is a web accessibility platform that combines scanning, monitoring, AI-assisted remediation, and a visitor-facing accessibility widget in one place. The free scan gives you an immediate picture of where your site stands. The full platform tracks issues over time and supports your team in fixing them. No developer pipeline is required to get started.
Automated scanning is fast and catches a broad, consistent range of accessibility issues. This ADA and WCAG scanner reliably detects missing alt text, contrast failures, missing form labels, incorrect heading structure, and focus order problems.
There are things automated scanning cannot judge. Whether an image description is meaningful, whether a form error message makes sense to a screen reader user, or whether a navigation pattern is genuinely usable by someone with a motor impairment: those require human review.
A free accessibility scan is an accurate starting point. It surfaces issues your team may not know about. It does not replace a manual audit, and a clean scan result does not certify legal compliance. What it does provide is documented evidence of the accessibility work you are doing, which courts and regulators consistently view as meaningful.
The free scan focuses on a single page to provide a quick accessibility overview.
