We graded 148,000+ websites on privacy compliance. 59% failed outright. Here's what the data reveals about consent banners, tracking scripts, and who's actually protecting user data.
We analyzed 123,262 websites across government, education, and healthcare — the three sectors most affected by the ADA Title II web accessibility deadline on April 24, 2026. Only 33.6% pass WCAG. Education has the worst failure rate at 34.9%. University websites pass at just 30.7%. With 46 days until the deadline and 5,500+ projected accessibility lawsuits in 2026, two-thirds of the public-serving web isn't ready.
We analyzed 16,213 children's websites — from early childhood education to kids' shopping to children's TV — across WCAG accessibility, EEAT trust, readability, GARM brand safety, and tracking technology adoption. 69.5% fail basic accessibility checks. Children's clothing sites have an 11.8% WCAG pass rate and a 58.8% failure rate. Virtually no children's sites (0.01%) use a consent management platform. With the COPPA 2.0 compliance deadline 44 days away and five states enforcing age-appropriate design codes, the children's web is not ready.
We analyzed 256,178 websites across 22 EU languages and cross-referenced them with WCAG, SEO, EEAT, and readability grades. Only 30% of EU websites pass WCAG accessibility — no better than the global average. Finland leads at 40.2%. Bulgaria trails at 16.5%. The North-South accessibility divide maps directly to digital infrastructure investment. With EAA fines reaching 100,000 EUR, two-thirds of EU websites face compliance risk.
We ran WCAG 2.1 Level A checks against 30 of the world's most visited websites across 10 industries. Two-thirds had critical accessibility failures. Here's where each industry stands — and why it matters.
