A look at webyes.com

WebYes offers a free online PDF accessibility checker that scans documents for issues affecting compliance with major accessibility standards. Users can upload a PDF or paste a public link to scan it directly in their browser, with no sign-up, email, or file storage required. The tool checks every machine-verifiable success criterion of WCAG Level A and AA, and every machine-verifiable test in PDF/UA (ISO 14289), then ranks findings from critical to minor and explains how to fix each issue. While automated checks catch machine-verifiable problems, some compliance determinations require manual review, which WebYes offers through paid expert audit and PDF remediation services.
