Tips, Hints, Best Practices

Change Log 10.6

This update, scheduled for the evening of April 3rd, focuses almost exclusively on accessibility changes to help you better meet the requirements of the upcoming Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) law change going into effect later this month. Read on for the additional new features, updates, including template fixes based on your SiteImprove reports shared in Slack.

Accessibility: Moving Forward Together

The update to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) coming in April 2026 tightens the requirements for compliance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Version 2.1 Level AA to provide better service and usability for the members of our web community who need accommodations. From the conversations many of you have had with our team, we know you're very aware of this deadline and we want to provide you with some guidance.

If search engines keep finding files you want to protect, keep reading to understand why this happens and how to avoid it.
