If you are on Avada Accessibility today

Questions people ask

Its listing uses that word, and no app can make a store immune to a claim. In the first half of 2025, 22.6% of ADA website suits hit sites that already ran an overlay. SiteRemora's claim is narrower: continuous scanning, fixes in the theme and a dated record.
Does Avada fix the code?

Which is cheaper?
Avada costs less: free up to 1,000 widget impressions a month, then $9 to $19 a month. SiteRemora's free plan shows every issue, and paid plans that write fixes into your theme and catalog start at $79 a month.
