ADA Title II · HHS Section 504 · WCAG 2.1 AA
Your website probably links hundreds of PDFs. The Title II rule doesn’t make you fix all of them — only the ones people still use. FixList inventories every document on your site and sorts each one into Fix, Decide, Retire, or Keep, so your remediation budget goes where the rule actually reaches.

How the triage works
Preexisting documents are excepted — unless they are “currently used to apply for, gain access to, or participate in” the government’s services, programs, or activities.Paraphrasing 28 CFR 35.201(b), ADA Title II web rule
Files people use right now to apply, register, pay, bid, or show up: forms, current agendas, schedules, program guides. These must meet WCAG 2.1 AA by your date.
permit-application.pdf · 2026 fee schedule · this month's agenda
The name and link text don't say enough. Someone who knows the program picks Fix, Keep, or Retire in a minute.

Closed bids, past events, superseded schedules, broken links. Taking them down costs nothing and removes risk.
RFP-2023-04.pdf · 2019 festival flyer
Historical records nobody uses to reach a service. Leave them unchanged — ideally in a clearly labeled archive — and provide an accessible copy on request.

No. FixList is a technical inventory. Every verdict is a candidate with the reason written next to it, so your ADA coordinator or attorney can confirm or overrule it quickly.
Documents posted before your compliance date don’t have to meet WCAG 2.1 AA unless they are currently used to apply for, access, or take part in your services, programs, or activities. Archived content has its own four-part test: created before the date, kept only for reference, stored in a clearly marked archive area, and not changed since.
If someone asks for an accessible version of an excepted file, you still have to provide one. See the Justice Department’s summary of the rule.
Yes. On April 20, 2026 the Justice Department pushed each date back one year: April 26, 2027 for governments serving 50,000 or more people, and April 26, 2028 for smaller governments and special districts. HHS moved its Section 504 dates the same way. DOJ said it fully expects to implement the rule at the new dates, and the file backlog on most sites takes months to work through.
HHS’s Section 504 rule uses the same WCAG 2.1 AA standard and the same kinds of exceptions (45 CFR 84.85), with compliance dates of May 11, 2027 for recipients with 15 or more employees and May 10, 2028 for smaller ones. The triage works the same way.
No. Nothing is installed on your site and we never need a login. Overlays can’t fix documents anyway — the work is in the files.
It identifies itself as FixListBot, follows your robots.txt, spaces out its requests, reads public pages only, and never submits forms. A full crawl of a large site runs over a few hours rather than all at once.
A printable report, a spreadsheet of every document (verdict, reason, year, type, tags, page count, and the pages that link to it), and a 30-minute walkthrough — within 3 business days of your order.
