A web accessibility audit is a structured evaluation of a website against recognized standards like WCAG, combining automated scanning with manual expert review to identify barriers for people with disabilities. An audit should do more than point out what is wrong. It should give you a roadmap for clear progress. Automated tools catch roughly 10 to 30 percent of accessibility issues, so expert manual testing does the majority of the work.  Question What is included in an ADA website compliance audit? An ADA website compliance audit evaluates a representative sample of pages, templates, and key user journeys against WCAG 2.2 AA success criteria, covering critical interactions like login, checkout, and forms. We start with a preliminary audit of your home page and global elements to clear the biggest blockers first, then a representative sample audit across your key pages. Findings are categorized by severity, complexity, responsible team, technology, and check type, which shows whether an issue is detectable automatically or only through manual testing. Results are delivered through UsableNet AQA, our audit platform, with code snippets and practical guidance developers can act on. For a closer look at how findings are prioritized, see our [guide on what to look for in your WCAG audit](https://blog.usablenet.com/what-to-look-for-in-your-wcag-audit?hsLang=en). Question How long does a WCAG audit take? Timelines vary with the size and complexity of the site. Audits are scoped against a representative sample of pages, templates, and key user journeys rather than every page, which keeps the initial assessment manageable. What matters more than the audit itself is the cadence that follows. Teams that succeed run automated tests after every release, often daily or weekly, and conduct a full test with manual validation monthly or quarterly. Remediation is the longer horizon, and reaching a strong baseline of WCAG 2.2 AA conformance is best planned as a program measured in months rather than weeks, since a site that changes every sprint will introduce new issues between audits. Question What is the difference between an ADA website compliance audit and a WCAG audit? An ADA website compliance audit evaluates a site against the accessibility expectations tied to the Americans with Disabilities Act, while a WCAG audit measures conformance against the specific technical success criteria in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. In practice, most ADA website compliance audits use WCAG 2.2 AA as the technical benchmark, so the two are closely connected rather than separate standards.  Question Does an accessibility audit help if we receive a demand letter? Documentation matters. AQA captures the page DOM at the time of each test, so if a claim arrives, you can show exactly what your site looked like on the date the issues were supposedly found, even if the page has since changed. Each issue is also classified by check type, indicating whether it is automatically detectable or requires manual testing, which is a useful indicator of your legal exposure. An audit on its own does not prevent a claim, but documented, repeated testing turns "we did not know" into evidence that you acted. ![](https://info.usablenet.com/hubfs/Individual%20Service%20Page%20Template%20Assets/Accessibile%20User.png) ## Speak with an Expert About Our Web Accessibility Audit Service [Schedule a Consultation](https://calendly.com/usablenet-accessibility/introduction) ## Page Footer ### Have a question? **Contact Us** [Book a Consultation](https://calendly.com/usablenet-accessibility/introduction?month=2025-02) [Watch a Demo](https://info.usablenet.com/choose-a-demo?hsLang=en) ### Solutions - [UsableNet Assistive](https://usablenet.com/technology/assistive-technology-services) - [UsableNet AQA](https://usablenet.com/technology/aqa) - [Accessibility Audit & Support Services](https://usablenet.com/services) - [Pricing and Plans](https://usablenet.com/pricing) ### Resource Library - [Blog](https://blog.usablenet.com/?hsLang=en) - [E-Books](https://usablenet.com/resources?contentType=E-books%20and%20Guides) - [Case Studies](https://usablenet.com/resources?contentType=Case%20Studies) - [Reports](https://usablenet.com/resources?contentType=Reports) - [Test your website for accessibility](https://usablenet.com/automated-accessibility-testing-tool) - [ADA Monthly Lawsuit Tracker](https://info.usablenet.com/ada-website-compliance-lawsuit-tracker?hsLang=en) - [Webinars](https://usablenet.com/resources?contentType=Webinars) - [All Resources](https://usablenet.com/resources?all=true) ### Who We Serve - [Public Sector and Education](https://info.usablenet.com/industries-public-sector-and-education?hsLang=en) - [Banking and Financial Services](https://info.usablenet.com/industries-financial-services?hsLang=en) - [E-commerce and Consumer Goods](https://info.usablenet.com/industries-e-commerce-consumer-goods?hsLang=en) - [Food Service and Hospitality](https://info.usablenet.com/-industries-food-service-hospitality?hsLang=en) - [Healthcare](https://info.usablenet.com/industries-healthcare?hsLang=en) - [Technology and Business Services](https://info.usablenet.com/-industries-technology-and-business-services?hsLang=en) ### Compliance - [European Accessibility Laws](https://info.usablenet.com/compliance-europe?hsLang=en) - [United States Accessibility Laws](https://info.usablenet.com/compliance-united-states?hsLang=en) ### Company - [About Us](https://usablenet.com/about-us) - [LLM Resources](https://usablenet.com/for-ai-assistants) [Accessibility Support](https://info.usablenet.com/support?hsLang=en)| [Privacy Policy](https://info.usablenet.com/privacy?hsLang=en)| [Accessibility Statement](https://info.usablenet.com/accessibility-statement?hsLang=en)| [Diversity and Inclusion Statement](https://info.usablenet.com/diversity-and-inclusion?hsLang=en)| Accessibility Status | [Technology Patents](https://info.usablenet.com/technology/patent?hsLang=en) ## **Sign Up** for the **UsableNet Blog** Join our mailing list to receive email notifications when we publish a new blog, infographic, whitepaper or newsletter.
