Free US website compliance scan

This free US website compliance checker helps site owners identify common compliance and trust issues before they become approval, monetization, or enforcement problems. It’s designed for US-facing websites that run ads, use analytics, collect data, or publish affiliate content.

The scan focuses on policy visibility, disclosure clarity, accessibility language, and trust signals — areas frequently reviewed by ad networks, advertisers, and platform compliance teams.

What this scanner checks

Most compliance problems aren’t “missing a policy” — they’re weak disclosures, hidden affiliate relationships, missing consumer rights language, or no obvious path for users to contact you about privacy or accessibility. This scanner looks for signals that are commonly expected on US-facing sites.

Privacy & cookie disclosures

Detects whether your site appears to provide a privacy policy, cookie notice language, and data-sharing signals that commonly matter for analytics and ad tech.

FTC affiliate disclosure strength

Checks for clear, conspicuous affiliate/compensation disclosures (missing / weak / strong) based on common phrasing patterns.

ADA accessibility risk language

Flags missing accessibility statement language and absence of a contact path for accessibility issues — a common risk signal.

HTTPS & trust baselines

Highlights non-HTTPS pages, mixed-content indicators, and trust cues that can affect user confidence and advertiser comfort.

California (CCPA/CPRA) signals

Looks for “Do Not Sell/Share”, consumer rights, and opt-out wording patterns often associated with CCPA/CPRA expectations.

Virginia (VCDPA) signals

Flags language related to data processing rights and opt-outs commonly associated with the VCDPA model.

Who this tool is for

Bloggers & affiliates

If you publish reviews, “best of” lists, or deal content, your FTC disclosure language is a direct trust and monetization lever.

AdSense & ad-tech publishers

Ad platforms and US advertisers tend to prefer clear policies and transparent disclosures — missing or weak signals can reduce trust.

SaaS founders

If you collect emails, run subscriptions, use analytics, or have user accounts, a policy gap can become an expensive distraction.

Small businesses

Even simple brochure sites can be exposed if you run tracking pixels, embeds, booking widgets, chat, or contact forms.

Why US compliance matters (even if you’re not in the US)

US compliance is often driven by state privacy laws, consumer protection expectations, and platform trust requirements. If you have US visitors, collect data (forms, analytics), or monetize (ads, affiliate links), you can inherit obligations and risk.

1) US privacy laws and state differences

Unlike the EU’s single GDPR framework, the US is fragmented. That’s why a scanner should flag state patterns: California’s consumer rights language (often associated with CCPA/CPRA) and Virginia’s rights model (VCDPA-style wording). The goal is to highlight common gaps — not to certify compliance.

2) FTC affiliate disclosure rules (why “weak” disclosures hurt)

The FTC generally expects disclosures to be clear and conspicuous — not buried in a footer or hidden behind vague wording. If you earn commission or receive compensation for endorsements, weak disclosure language can become a trust and enforcement risk. This tool grades disclosure strength to help you move toward clearer language.

3) ADA accessibility risk (language + contact path)

Many site owners skip accessibility statements entirely. Even if you’re improving accessibility over time, publishing an accessibility statement and providing a contact method can be a practical risk-reduction step. The scan flags missing signals and suggests what to add.

Reminder: This tool does not provide legal conclusions. It detects patterns and highlights potential risk signals.

FAQ

Is this US Website Compliance Checker legal advice?
No. This tool provides informational diagnostics and risk signals based on common requirements and patterns. It does not provide legal advice and cannot guarantee compliance.
Can my site be “fully compliant” after running the scan?
A scan can highlight common gaps, but compliance depends on your business, data flows, vendors, and how you implement policies and controls. Use results as a starting point and consult a qualified professional for legal guidance.
Do I need CCPA or CPRA compliance if my business is not in California?
You may still be in scope if you do business with California residents and meet certain thresholds. Many sites choose to implement CCPA-style disclosures as a safer baseline.
Do I need an ADA accessibility statement on my website?
Many organizations publish an accessibility statement to communicate commitment and provide a contact path for issues. The scan flags missing or weak accessibility language as a potential risk signal.
What does “FTC disclosure strength” mean?
If you use affiliate links or receive compensation for endorsements, US FTC guidance generally expects clear and conspicuous disclosures. The scan classifies disclosure language as missing, weak, or strong based on common wording patterns.
Will you crawl my whole website?
No. This scanner focuses on high-signal areas (homepage, footer links, and commonly-linked policy pages) up to the depth you choose.
Do you store the content of my pages?
The tool stores scan findings to generate a shareable results URL. It’s designed to store minimal necessary data (scores, flags, detected snippets). Avoid scanning private or authenticated pages.
Why do state laws like Virginia (VCDPA) matter?
US privacy requirements are increasingly state-driven. Even if you’re not located in a state, you may handle residents’ data. The scanner flags signals that are commonly expected for those regimes.
Does HTTPS affect compliance?
HTTPS is a trust and security baseline. The scan highlights non-HTTPS sites and mixed content signals because they can increase user risk and reduce advertiser trust.
Can I export a PDF report?
Yes. After scanning, you can generate a print-ready PDF report with a simple email gate (for lead capture).
