WCAG 2.4.4 Link Purpose
One national regulator tested around 100 of its largest webshops and its biggest telecom and energy sites under the EU's new rules.
- 61% could not be ordered from at all using assistive technology.
- Another 33% had serious barriers.
Together that is 94% of the sites checked.
Enforcement in practice
The European Accessibility Act has applied across all 27 member states since June 2025, and regulators are checking. A French court has ordered a major retailer to make its site and app accessible under a penalty for every day of delay: what the Carrefour ruling decided.
No EU regulator has issued a fine under the EAA yet, and we will say so until that changes. What is actually happening is court claims from disability associations, a regulator in Sweden reviewing 28 named e-commerce services, and close to 700 complaints filed with Germany's market surveillance body in eight months. Those arrive without notice, and they are answered with a dated record of remediation.
We scanned the 28 services that Swedish regulator named and published what an automated check finds on each one, method and limits included.
Overlays do not make a site compliant, and they have become a frequent target for accessibility lawsuits.
Accessibility "widgets" sit on top of a site. They hide problems from automated checkers. Screen-reader users still run into those problems, and so do the courts. In 2025 the US Federal Trade Commission ordered accessiBe to pay $1 million to settle claims that it misrepresented its widget as delivering WCAG compliance, and barred it from repeating them. In the same year more than a quarter of the US companies sued over web accessibility already had a widget installed.
Conforma finds the issues in your actual markup and shows you how to fix them at the source. It then keeps a dated record proving you did.
- Each issue names the WCAG criterion it fails.
- Each rule comes with a fix in plain language.
- The report shows the failing element and its CSS selector, so a developer knows where to look.
- The next scan checks whether the fix closed the issue.
How a scan works
Conforma is a free WCAG scanner. Enter any URL and get a WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility audit in seconds, with a fix for every issue.
Enter your site
Type any address, with or without https://. We figure out the rest.
We scan and score
The page you enter is tested against WCAG 2.2 AA with axe-core in seconds. A free account crawls up to 25 pages of the site through its links and sitemap.
Fix and verify
Get a fix-first issue list, automatic re-scans with regression alerts, and a white-label report for your client.
Automated testing covers 20 of the 55 WCAG 2.2 A and AA criteria. The rest need a manual review. So far Conforma has tested 1,040 pages in 20 scans and found 559 issues.
Features for agencies managing client sites
Whole-site crawl
Follows your links and sitemap to scan your key pages, up to 500 per site.
Verified fixes
Every issue comes with a plain-language fix and a before/after snippet. The next scan verifies it actually closed.
A dated compliance record
Every scan, claimed fix and verification is logged with a timestamp: a good-faith remediation trail you can show a client or a regulator.
Monitoring & regression alerts
Daily, weekly or monthly re-scans per site, with an email the moment a score drops or new issues appear.
Per-country EU statements
Generate an accessibility statement for any of the 27 member states. It names the authority a reader can complain to where the national law designates one, and maps each finding to its EN 301 549 clause.
White-label reports
A client-ready PDF audit with your own logo and branding, and no Conforma mark.
Ready for the European Accessibility Act
Since 28 June 2025 the EAA requires accessibility from consumer-facing services across the EU, existing ones included: web shops, banking, ticketing, telecoms and more. Only products already used to deliver a service, and contracts agreed before that date, have until 28 June 2030. Conforma gives agencies a dated record of fixes to show where every client stands.
EAA by country
The Act is one directive, and each member state has transposed it into its own national law. Our 27 country pages name the statute and the enforcing body in each country, with the dates that apply there.

Questions
Does it catch every accessibility problem?
No. Automated testing covers about a third of the WCAG success criteria: the ones a machine can decide, like contrast, missing alt text and broken labels. We flag those precisely and recommend a manual review for the rest.
Do you use an accessibility overlay?
No, and we would advise against one. Overlays hide problems from automated checkers, but users and the courts still run into them. In 2025 the US Federal Trade Commission ordered accessiBe to pay $1 million to settle claims that it misrepresented its widget as delivering WCAG compliance. We test your real markup and tell you how to fix it at the source.
What can I show a regulator?
Every scan, claimed fix and verification is logged with a timestamp, so you keep a dated record of good-faith remediation. You also get an EN 301 549 accessibility statement generated from your latest scan. This is evidence an overlay cannot produce.
Can I put my own brand on the reports?
Yes. On the Agency plan, PDF reports use your logo and agency name with no Conforma mark.
Does the EU Accessibility Act apply to me?
Since 28 June 2025 the EAA covers consumer-facing services in the EU, existing ones included: e-commerce, banking, ticketing, telecoms, transport and e-books. Micro-enterprises that provide services are exempt: fewer than 10 staff, and annual turnover or annual balance sheet total of no more than €2 million. Only products already used to deliver a service, and contracts agreed before 28 June 2025, have until 28 June 2030. Conforma tests against WCAG 2.2 AA / EN 301 549 and drafts the paperwork, so you can show clients exactly where they stand.
Has anyone actually been fined under the EAA?
Not yet, anywhere in the EU, and we will say so until that changes. What has happened is court claims brought by disability associations, a Swedish regulator reviewing 28 named e-commerce services, and close to 700 complaints filed with Germany's market surveillance body in its first eight months. Those arrive without notice, which is the argument for having a dated record already in hand rather than for panic about a maximum penalty nobody has been given.
