WCAG Monitoring: daily, weekly, monthly

Definition: WCAG monitoring is scheduled accessibility scanning that detects regressions and newly introduced issues over time — not just a one-time audit.

What monitoring catches

• New contrast failures after design changes
• Missing form labels after edits
• Keyboard traps introduced by modals
• ARIA regressions after component updates

How to choose scan frequency

• Daily: fast-moving sites with frequent deploys
• Weekly: most marketing + SaaS sites
• Monthly: low-change sites and governance checks

Automated vs manual

Automated tools catch many failures, but some success criteria require human judgment. Monitoring reduces risk by catching regressions quickly.
