Automated accessibility audits that catch WCAG issues before your users do
Uptura audits your pages against WCAG 2.2 and Section 508 from a real browser, and alerts your team the moment a deploy introduces a new accessibility violation — so compliance never quietly slips.

Why it matters
Accessibility isn't a one-time project
You can pass an audit on Monday and ship a violation on Tuesday. Continuous accessibility monitoring re-checks your pages against WCAG on every deploy, so barriers get caught the day they appear — before they cost you customers or land you in court.
Lawsuits
keep climbing
Thousands of web-accessibility lawsuits are filed every year. An inaccessible page isn't just bad UX — it's a real legal and financial risk.

adults has a disability
If your site is hard to use with a keyboard or screen reader, you're turning away a large share of potential customers before they ever convert.
One deploy
can undo compliance
A new component or content change reintroduces contrast and labeling issues all the time. Without monitoring, a compliant site quietly breaks.
What we check
Everything an accessibility testing tool should do
Uptura audits your pages against the WCAG criteria that matter — contrast, alt text, labels, ARIA, and keyboard access — continuously, from a real browser, and reports what to fix first.
WCAG 2.2 & Section 508 checks
Every scan runs your pages against the WCAG 2.2 A/AA success criteria and Section 508 rules, so you're testing against the same standards courts and procurement teams reference.
Automated scans on every deploy
Uptura re-audits your pages on a schedule and after releases, so a new component or content change that introduces a violation is caught the day it ships — not in a lawsuit.
Color contrast & readability
Automatically flag text that fails AA or AAA contrast ratios, missing focus states, and other visual barriers that make a page hard to use for low-vision visitors.
Keyboard & screen-reader coverage
Catch missing alt text, unlabeled form fields, broken ARIA roles, and tab-order problems — the issues that lock out keyboard and screen-reader users.
Prioritized issue reports
Each violation comes with its severity, the exact element, and the WCAG criterion it breaks — so your team fixes what matters first instead of drowning in a raw checklist.
Alerts on new violations
The moment a scan finds a new accessibility issue, your team is notified over email, Slack, or Discord — with the page and the failing check attached.
How it works
Add a page, audit it on every deploy
Accessibility monitoring should take a minute to set up. Point Uptura at your pages and it runs the audits and tracks them from there.
- 1
Add the pages to watch
Point Uptura at your key templates and flows — homepage, product pages, checkout, sign-up. No code changes needed to run a first audit.
- 2
We audit against WCAG rules
Uptura loads each page in a real browser and runs an automated accessibility audit against WCAG 2.2 and Section 508, capturing every violation with its severity.
- 3
You get alerted on new issues
When a deploy introduces a new violation — or an old one comes back — your team is notified, with a prioritized report so the biggest barriers get fixed first.
One platform
Accessibility is just one signal Uptura watches
An accessible page can still be down, have an expired certificate, or a broken checkout. Uptura pairs accessibility monitoring with uptime, SSL, DNS, SEO, performance, and more — so every part of a website's health lives in one dashboard and one alert stream.
Uptime Monitoring
Minute-by-minute checks from multiple regions catch outages the instant they happen — before your customers do.
SSL & Domain
Track SSL certificate, issuer, and domain expiry across every site, with alerts well before anything lapses.
DNS Monitoring
Watch DNS records for unexpected changes, misconfigurations, and propagation issues in real time.
API & Endpoint
Test REST endpoints for status codes, latency, and JSON validity — and watch business-critical endpoints separately.
SEO Monitoring
Catch metadata, canonical, robots.txt, and sitemap regressions that quietly tank rankings — the moment they ship.
Core Web Vitals
Track LCP, CLS, and INP over time with Lighthouse scans, and get alerted when performance regresses.
Synthetic & Forms
Run scripted checks on logins, checkouts, and contact forms so broken user journeys never go unnoticed.
Visual RegressionSoon
Capture daily screenshots and highlight visual differences between deployments before anyone else spots them.

FAQ
Accessibility monitoring, answered
What is an accessibility audit?
An accessibility audit checks a website against a standard — usually the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) — to find barriers that make it hard for people with disabilities to use. Uptura runs these audits automatically and continuously, so instead of a single point-in-time report you get ongoing monitoring that flags new issues as they appear.
What is WCAG compliance?
WCAG — the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines — is the international standard for web accessibility, organized into levels A, AA, and AAA. Most legal and procurement requirements target WCAG 2.1 or 2.2 at level AA. Uptura tests your pages against these exact criteria and shows which ones pass, so 'WCAG AA compliant' is something you can actually verify.
Is my website legally required to be accessible?
In many places, yes. Web accessibility is treated as a requirement under laws like the ADA in the US, Section 508 for federal-related sites, and the European Accessibility Act — and inaccessible sites face a growing number of lawsuits each year. Continuous monitoring is the practical way to show you're actively finding and fixing issues rather than ignoring them.
How do you test a website for accessibility?
Testing combines automated scans — which check things like contrast, alt text, labels, and ARIA against WCAG rules — with manual review for things a machine can't judge, like whether alt text is actually meaningful. Uptura handles the automated layer continuously and gives your team a clear report to guide any manual checks.
Can accessibility testing be automated?
Automated accessibility testing reliably catches a large share of common issues — typically around a third to half of WCAG failures — including contrast, missing alt text, and unlabeled controls. The rest still needs human judgment. Uptura automates the continuous part so those catchable issues never pile up, and flags the pages that deserve a closer manual look.
How is monitoring different from a one-off accessibility checker?
A one-off checker tells you how a page looks today. Monitoring re-tests on a schedule and after every deploy, remembers your baseline, and alerts you when something regresses — so a site that was compliant doesn't quietly break. Uptura pairs accessibility monitoring with uptime, SSL, SEO, and performance in one dashboard.
