Stop guessing. Start fixing.

Kensa crawls your entire website starting from the URL you provide. It discovers every linked page on your domain and runs a full axe-core accessibility audit on each one — checking for WCAG 2.1 violations across all severity levels. Unlike tools that only scans a few pages on your website, Kensa scans all of your web pages.

Most tools only give you a link to a WCAG guideline and wish you luck. Kensa generates a custom fix recommendation based on your specific violation, the actual failing HTML on your page, and the relevant WCAG rule, then you get to view a revised version of your own code with the fix implemented — something your developer can act on immediately without hours of research.

You choose a frequency (daily, weekly, or monthly) and your timezone. Kensa runs a full scan automatically at 9 AM in your local time. When the scan completes, your team gets an email with the score, violation count, and a direct link to the full report. New pages get picked up automatically, and regressions are caught early and often.

While no single tool can guarantee legal immunity, Kensa dramatically reduces your risk by helping you identify and fix accessibility violations across your entire website — not just a few pages. That said, automated scanning is just one layer of a strong compliance strategy. You should also conduct manual human testing with assistive technologies (screen readers, keyboard-only navigation), follow ADA and WCAG guidelines as part of your development process, and consider working with accessibility consultants for comprehensive audits. Kensa gives your team the visibility and actionable guidance to stay ahead of issues, but pairing it with human testing and a genuine commitment to inclusive design is the best way to protect your business and serve all your users.

The costs add up fast. Settlements for ADA web accessibility claims typically run $25,000–$75,000. Legal defense fees can add another $10,000–$50,000 — even if you win. Then there's the cost of emergency remediation, which is always more expensive under legal pressure than proactive fixing. The total exposure for a single case routinely exceeds $100,000. By comparison, a full year of Kensa monitoring at any plan tier is a fraction of a single settlement. Prevention is the only affordable strategy.

No — and this is one of the most dangerous misconceptions in web accessibility. Overlays are JavaScript widgets that try to patch accessibility problems visually, without fixing the underlying source code. Courts and regulators have consistently ruled that overlays do not constitute meaningful remediation. In fact, over 20% of ADA web accessibility lawsuits target websites that already have an overlay installed. Overlays may also create new barriers for users of real assistive technologies like screen readers. Kensa takes the opposite approach: we scan your actual source code, identify real WCAG violations, and give your developers actionable guidance to fix them at the root level — the only approach that holds up legally and actually helps users.

WCAG stands for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines — the international standard for accessible web design, published by the W3C. There are three conformance levels: Level A covers the most critical barriers (things that make a site completely unusable for some users), Level AA covers the broader standard that most regulations and courts reference — including the ADA Title II rule and the EU Accessibility Act — and Level AAA covers enhanced accessibility that goes beyond what's typically required. For most businesses, achieving WCAG 2.1 Level AA is the target. Kensa scans against WCAG 2.1 AA criteria and prioritizes violations by severity so your team knows exactly where to start.

Yes — significantly. Many accessibility best practices overlap directly with what search engines reward. Proper heading structure, descriptive alt text on images, meaningful link labels, and semantic HTML all help screen readers and crawlers alike. Google has publicly stated that accessible sites tend to perform better in search. Beyond traditional SEO, there's a growing focus on AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) — the practice of structuring content so AI-powered answer engines like Google's AI Overviews and ChatGPT can accurately surface your content. Clean semantic markup and well-structured pages are the foundation of both. Fixing your accessibility issues isn't just risk reduction — it's an investment in your organic visibility.

It looks overwhelming, but most large violation counts are deceptively fixable. The majority of issues on a given site trace back to a small number of root causes in shared elements — your header, footer, navigation, or page templates. Fixing global violoations can eliminate hundreds or thousands of violations. Kensa surfaces violations by frequency and severity so you can see which fixes have the highest impact. In practice, most teams clear the majority of their issues with a handful of targeted template changes — before ever touching a single individual page.

Absolutely. Accessibility programs typically focus on intentional, reviewed work — but most regressions and mistakes come from routine updates made by developers, interns, or content editors who aren't accessibility experts. A new page template, a CMS update, a quick copy change — any of these can quietly introduce violations that your program never catches. Kensa runs continuously in the background, scanning every page after every change cycle. It's the safety net that makes sure your program's standards are actually being maintained across your whole team, not just in the work that gets reviewed.
