WCAG 2.1 AA conformance built into design and code, audits and fixes for existing sites, and the disclosure and privacy details regulated industries are expected to get right.
WebAIM’s 2026 analysis of the top one million home pages found detectable WCAG failures on 95.9% of them, averaging 56 errors per page. Federal website accessibility lawsuits rose 27% in 2025 to 3,117. For state and local governments, the Department of Justice now requires WCAG 2.1 AA under ADA Title II.
