FAQ
-
Why use the WP ADA Compliance Plugin?
-
It’s the law! In 1998, Congress amended the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 to require Federal agencies to make their electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities. This law applies to all Federal agencies, some state and local agencies as well as any entity creating websites for applicable agencies.
In recent years, there has been an increase of website accessibility lawsuits. In some states the rulings have indicated that business websites failing to meet WCAG guidelines are in violation of Title III of the ADA.
There is also a strong business case for accessibility. Studies show that accessible websites have better search results, reduced maintenance costs, and increased audience reach. All of which increases profit margin for a business.
-
What issues does WP ADA Compliance Check Basic check for?
-
The WP ADA Compliance Plugin evaluates content for the most common issues typically found on your website. As Web Accessibility standards evolve the plugin is continually updated to include the latest requirements.

How do I troubleshoot 500, 502 or 504 Server Errors During Scans?
-
These errors normally occur while scanning pages with a large number of links. If you see server errors, increase the PHP max_execution_time to at least 300 and memory_limit to 256MB or 700MB for PDF scans. It may be necessary to increase the max_execution_time and memory_limit even further if errors persist.
