Turn your live ADA scan
into a public trust signal
Gradus ADA is the compliance badge, banner, and monitoring toolkit for WordPress. Install it once — your site displays a real, verifiable WCAG 2.2 A/AA score that updates automatically whenever Gradus rescans your domain.
↑ Live badge preview — the badge itself meets WCAG 2.2 AA (sufficient contrast, real text, keyboard-accessible)
What the plugin does
▸ Compliance badge
Show your live WCAG 2.2 A/AA score on your site with a shortcode or automatically in the footer. Three styles: compact pill, icon shield, or full status card.
[gradus_ada_badge]▸ Status banner
Optional slim banner at the top or bottom of every page — a persistent, visible commitment to accessibility for visitors and regulators alike.
[gradus_ada_banner position="top"]▸ Live data
The badge always reflects the latest scan Gradus published for your domain via the public verify API — cached locally, so it stays fast under load.
▸ Site registration
Your site registers with the Gradus network on activation, so every monitored site is tracked and kept fresh on the dashboard.
▸ On-demand rescans
Fix something? Request a fresh scan right from the plugin Monitoring tab and watch your score update.
▸ Gradus Pro
Automatic scheduled rescans, unlimited sites, and PDF compliance reports. Upgrade from the plugin settings — no manual license files.
Drop-in shortcodes
[gradus_ada_badge][gradus_ada_banner position="top|bottom"]No configuration required for the badge — the footer badge is enabled by default and always reflects the latest published scan. Style options live in Settings → Gradus ADA: pill / shield / card, score + violation count + last-scan date toggles, and an optional link to your full public report.
