A Snapshot of Your Accessibility Performance
You can’t improve what you don’t measure. A
website accessibility audit is your chance to take a clear look at how your digital presence is doing in terms of inclusivity and compliance.
Unlike one-time remediation plans, ongoing or periodic audits are about monitoring, verifying, and improving. These audits don’t just catch legal risks - they help you build a roadmap to sustainable accessibility.
When and Why to Audit
Businesses use accessibility audits for a few key reasons:
- To benchmark accessibility over time
- To track progress after remediation efforts
- To catch new compliance issues as sites evolve
- To document accessibility status for internal or legal purposes
These audits are especially useful when launching new digital features, after major design updates, or ahead of investor reviews and regulatory reporting.
Not a One-Time Fix
Even if your website passed a full accessibility remediation six months ago, things might’ve changed:
- Did a plugin update break keyboard navigation?
- Did someone upload new images without Alt Text?
- Has the color scheme changed enough to lower contrast ratios?
Periodic audits catch these problems before users - or lawyers - do.
EqualWeb’s Audit: External, Easy, and Effective
EqualWeb’s audit is an external scan of your site, meaning:
- No installation or code changes are needed
- It doesn’t disrupt your performance or design
- It’s 100% private and compliant with all data standards
You’ll get a complete report that shows:
- Your WCAG 2.2 compliance score
- Specific accessibility violations with visual highlights
- Recommendations for fixing each issue
You can keep the report for internal use, show it to developers, or use it to track improvement in the next audit.
Compliance Is a Moving Target
Website accessibility is a living standard. Guidelines change, tech evolves, and even compliant sites can fall behind. That’s why EqualWeb`s audit is more than a one-off - it’s a smart maintenance tool.
You can use it monthly, quarterly, or before major updates. Think of it as your digital health checkup.
What Makes This Different from an Accessibility Widget?
Accessibility widgets help end-users navigate content better. But they don’t fix violations at the code level, and they certainly don’t flag new issues.
EqualWeb’s audit is about what’s going on behind the scenes - what Google, regulators, and screen readers see when they scan your site.
Who Should Use This?
This is for anyone who wants to:
- Track accessibility over time
- Show stakeholders they`re making progress
- Stay ahead of lawsuits and legal compliance
- Get clarity without the cost of a full manual audit
You don’t need to be a developer. You don’t need to install anything. You just need to know where you stand.
Get a Report. Make a Plan.
This audit won’t fix your website - but it will tell you exactly what to fix and why. That’s how accessibility work gets done the smart way.
