ADA Checker
What's new in this beta
Recent changes, improvements, and known limitations. The checker is still in beta — no warranty is given.
v1.2.0
- AddedRemediation plan page: turn any scan finding into a task with a due date, assignee, status, notes, a ticket link, and an attached file.
- AddedYour plan shows on shared report links, so colleagues see the same checklist and progress without needing an account.
- AddedShared links now report how many times a report has been opened and when it was last viewed.
- ImprovedAn account is now required to run a scan, so detailed findings, exports, and plan items stay tied to your sign-in.
- FixedCSV exports (scan issues, signups, admin metrics, and leads) are hardened against spreadsheet formula injection.
- FixedShare links can only be created for your own scans, and admin access now requires a confirmed email on the configured admin account.
v1.1.0
- AddedNew "Color & readability" check group: text contrast (4.5:1 / 3:1), button and link contrast, enhanced 7:1 contrast at the AAA target, minimum text size, and links in body text that rely on color alone.
- AddedEach contrast finding shows the two colors compared, the measured ratio, the text size, and the ratio required to pass.
- ImprovedThe scanner now reads the page's own stylesheets (inline and linked) to resolve colors, and skips anything it can't measure with confidence — background images, gradients, scripted colors, and hover/focus states.
- ImprovedManual review checklist now prompts you to eyeball hover, focus, active and disabled states plus text over imagery.
- Known issueContrast is computed from stylesheets rather than a rendered browser, so results are flagged "needs review" — always confirm borderline colors by eye.
v1.0.1
- AddedAt-a-glance compliance summary at the top of the PDF report — overall score, severity counts, and issue breakdown by WCAG level (A / AA / AAA + best practice).
- AddedScore breakdown by category (contrast, keyboard, screen reader, and more) on the scan results page.
- AddedActionable remediation checklist grouped by severity, with per-step progress tracking and mark-all-done / reset controls.
- AddedCSV export of scan issues alongside the existing PDF report.
- ImprovedPDF and CSV export filenames now include the analyzed site's domain and scan date so each download is unique and easy to file.
- FixedHardened the URL scanner against SSRF: hostnames are resolved and checked against private / loopback / cloud-metadata ranges, and redirects are re-validated on every hop.
v1.0.0
- Added"What's new in this beta" changelog page.
- Added"How this checker works" expandable section on scan results explaining automated vs. manual review.
- AddedBeta disclaimer and checker version included in exported PDF reports.
- AddedChecker version and page load timestamp shown in the site footer for traceability.
- AddedBeta / no-warranty disclaimer in the site footer.
- AddedPersistent scope note under each scan score summarizing which WCAG tiers ran and which were skipped.
- Added"Why this is flagged" expandable explanation on every violation, including WCAG level and whether it would be skipped at your target.
- AddedTooltips on the WCAG target selector explaining what each level (A / AA / AAA) means.
- AddedCompliance target control in the scan options panel; results reflect the selected target.
vbeta
- Known issueOnly a portion of WCAG failures are machine-detectable — roughly 30–40%. Manual review is still required.
- Known issueSingle-page apps may be partially scanned if content loads after the initial render.
- Known issueColor contrast checks rely on computed styles and may miss issues in background images or video.
