What our crawl found on saddleback.edu
Counts from our October 1, 2026 crawl, which visited 396 pages. Our crawler found 313 public documents on saddleback.edu — an estimated 3,798 pages your team would otherwise inventory by hand.
The crawl stopped at its time limit, so every count here is a minimum: the site has at least this many documents.

No single category dominates this inventory — the largest bucket is uncategorized material at 53% — so a short sampling pass is the fastest way to establish remediation priorities.

Checked sample

- Passed basic checks: 5
- Did not pass: 38
Most checked files are missing basics such as tags, a document title, a declared language or labeled form fields. Files made without accessibility tooling usually look like this, and they need structural work, not touch-ups.
The rate covers the 43 files we checked, not all 313 documents. Checks cover tag structure, document language, title, image alt text and form-field labels.
Scanned share
5% scanned
Most of the collection is digital-native text, which keeps remediation at the lighter end: tagging and structure work rather than OCR.
Scanned images need text recognition (OCR) before they can be tagged.
Forms are a small part of this inventory (3%), but each one needs labeled fields and a working tab order before someone using a screen reader can fill it in.

What each check looks for
- Tagged structure
- The file has a tag tree, so assistive technology can tell headings, lists and paragraphs apart.
- Document language
- The file declares its language, so screen readers pronounce it correctly.
- Document title
- The file has a document title, shown instead of the file name.
- Image alt text
- Every image in a tagged file carries alternative text, or the file has no untagged images.
- Form field labels
- Every fillable form field has a label a screen reader can announce.
How we measured this
1.Crawl
We start at the organization's website and follow its sitemaps and links on the same site. We respect robots.txt and crawl delays, and skip login areas.
2.Classify
Each document is sorted by file format and, from its link text and file name, into a category such as forms or agendas. Page counts are estimated, often without downloading the whole file.
3.Check a sample
We open up to 50 PDFs and run basic machine checks: tags, document title, language, image alt text and form-field labels.
4.Publish only with evidence
Figures appear only when a crawl finds at least 25 documents and checks at least 20 of them.
Limits of this method
- We only see public pages we can reach through links or sitemaps. Documents behind logins or on other services may be missed.
- Crawls stop at page, document and time limits. When one is hit, the counts are minimums.
- Categories and page counts are estimates from links, file names and file metadata.
- Machine checks can't judge reading order, alt text quality or table structure. Passing them is not WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.
- Figures describe the site on the crawl date, not today.
This page's evidence
- Crawled October 1, 2026: we fetched 396 pages from https://www.saddleback.edu/ and found 313 documents.
- The pass rate comes from machine checks on 43 of those documents, not from checking every file.
- Changelog: October 1, 2026 — inventory refreshed from the latest crawl.

Where Saddleback College should start

Estimated cost with DocoMatic
$1,564 – $2,346
≈ 7,819 credits for 3,798 estimated pages
- 109 form pages at Level 3 (field labeling and tab order)
- 172 scanned pages (OCR plus Level 2 tagging)
- 3,517 standard pages at Level 1
This is a directional estimate from crawler statistics, not a quote. Run the remediation cost calculator with your own page counts for a tailored figure.
What DocoMatic does
- Finds the PDF, Word, PowerPoint and Excel files on your website and estimates the backlog.
- Fixes documents at three levels, from basic tagging to complex forms.
- Checks every fixed file, with veraPDF PDF/UA-1 validation from Level 2 up.
- Human review: turn it on when you request a fix, or arrange it with our team.
- Monitors your site so new documents don't rebuild the backlog.

Frequently asked questions
When is Saddleback College's ADA Title II deadline?
April 26, 2027. Saddleback College is in the 2027 cohort under the Department of Justice's rule on web and mobile accessibility for state and local governments, with compliance dates as set by the Department's interim final rule of April 20, 2026 (91 FR 20902).
How was Saddleback College's deadline set?
We could not confirm which population figure the rule gives Saddleback College. The Census Bureau counts a community college district as an independent school district government, and the Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates publish no figure for one — so we show the earlier date as the safer planning assumption. Confirm your cohort before you plan around it.
How many public documents does Saddleback College have?
Our crawl on October 1, 2026 fetched 396 pages from https://www.saddleback.edu/ and found at least 313 documents (it stopped at a crawl limit), an estimated 3,798 pages. The full file-level list is available to verified staff after claiming the page.
How many of Saddleback College's documents pass accessibility checks?
5 of the 43 files we checked passed basic machine checks (12%). That is a sample of the 313 documents we found, and passing basic checks is not full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.
How much would it cost to fix Saddleback College's documents?
Our directional estimate is $1,564 to $2,346 with DocoMatic: about 7,819 credits for 3,798 estimated pages, based on this crawl. It is not a quote.
Which documents should Saddleback College fix first?
Start with what current students need: syllabi, admissions, registration and financial aid forms.
Do older PDFs have to be made accessible too?
Not all of them. Documents already posted before the compliance date are excepted unless they are currently used to apply for, gain access to, or participate in the organization's services, programs or activities (28 CFR 35.201(b)). Genuinely archived content is excepted too, but only while it is kept solely for reference, research or recordkeeping, sits in a clearly identified archive area and is not changed. Everything published from the compliance date on is covered, and so is any older file people still use to reach a service.
