ADA pressure / storefront regression checks
Find accessibility issues. Don’t add new ones.
QualityGate separates new storefront issues from known theme debt, so teams can respond to ADA lawsuit pressure without freezing every product or campaign release.
Automated checks find issues and track progress; they do not provide legal advice or a conformance assessment.
The problem
Old storefront debt makes every new check look like a fire. A legacy storefront can fail before the PR changes a thing.
Theme code, third-party widgets, and years of content create a backlog no store can erase overnight. A gate that blocks on all of it delays merchandising work and trains the team to ignore the signal.

Common questions
Useful automation, honestly framed.
- Does QualityGate provide a legal conformance assessment?
- No. It reports automated findings and helps teams track regressions. Legal and conformance reviews still require qualified human judgment.
- Will it fail every PR on legacy debt?
- No. The regression-only baseline means existing issues can stay visible without blocking work.
- What does the first version check?
- The MVP focuses on deterministic accessibility checks. SEO, headers, and links follow as modular checks.
