We re-analyzed 220,000+ government, education, and health sites — the sectors covered by the DOJ's ADA Title II web rule — across WCAG, EEAT, SEO, readability, and privacy. The April 2026 compliance deadline was extended to April 2027 days before it landed, and the data shows why: just 28% earn a clean WCAG pass, nearly 40% score F, and all three sectors fail two-to-one. We also correct an earlier finding — Health does not lead these sectors on trust; it now trails them at the lowest EEAT of the three.

We ranked 16 industries across SEO, AEO, EEAT, WCAG accessibility, readability, and privacy using aggregate data from LLMSE's 3.4M-URL index. Finance leads discovery. Shopping is the trust, readability, and privacy champion. Entertainment builds the most accessible sites. Law & Government remains the least readable corner of the web. Every sector has a blind spot — here's the data, refreshed against a dataset that has more than doubled.

We cross-referenced 71,700 news and media sites against SEO, AEO, EEAT, WCAG accessibility, readability, and privacy. News leads the web on trust signals (EEAT 56.3% vs 45.4%) but trails on accessibility (34.7% vs 43.8%, down from 43.9% at first publication — nearly half score F) and readability, and only 1.7% pass SEO. Negative-sentiment content runs 2.3x the web rate. The sector with the strongest on-page credibility signals is failing the public exactly as trust in news hits a record low of 37%.

We cross-referenced 15+ JavaScript frameworks, static-site generators, and CMS platforms against SEO, AEO, EEAT, WCAG accessibility, readability, and privacy grades across LLMSE's 3.4M-URL index. At full scale the 'React paradox' collapses: React is mid-pack on SEO (2.1%) and below average on accessibility (32.4%), not the outlier the first small sample suggested. What holds: rendering strategy and platform era predict discoverability — static-site generators and Ghost lead SEO, modern pre-rendered output beats client-only SPAs roughly 2-to-1, and the 299,000-site jQuery-era web trails almost everywhere.

We recomputed seven quality dimensions across 33,422 dedicated e-commerce platform sites in LLMSE's 3.4M-URL index. Shopify now leads trust (EEAT 91.8%), privacy (76.9%) and AI-answer optimization (6.0%) — yet trails the web on classic SEO and accessibility. WooCommerce leads SEO (3.8%), Magento leads accessibility (41.2%), and OpenCart writes the web's most readable product pages (72.3%) while ranking almost nowhere (0.2% SEO). No platform wins everything — and the leaders all flipped as the index more than doubled.

We cross-referenced 29,398 Information & Network Security sites against SEO, AEO, EEAT, WCAG accessibility, readability, and privacy grades from LLMSE's 3.4M-URL index. The industry that sells trust and being-found trails the web on exactly those two things: EEAT (trust) at 20.5% — 55% below the web's 45.4% — and SEO at 1.0%, about half the web rate. The original's one bright spot, accessibility, is gone: WCAG failures jumped from 20.8% to 43.7% as the sample grew, putting InfoSec at or below the web. Brand safety is the only clean win at 100%.

We cross-referenced ~123,000 education websites — K-12, colleges, universities, online learning, assessment, and language learning — against SEO, AEO, EEAT, WCAG accessibility, readability, and privacy grades from LLMSE's 3.4M-URL index. Education sits at or above the web average on five of six dimensions, including trust (EEAT 59.5% vs 45.4%), but trails on readability (23.3% vs 32.8%). The deficit is worst exactly where you'd least expect it: colleges (12.4%), universities (11.3%) and postgraduate programs (8.8%) write the sector's hardest-to-read content. The tagged audience is 84.1% female.

One year into European Accessibility Act enforcement, we mapped automated WCAG accessibility across ~947,000 sites in 21 EU official languages, cross-referenced against six quality dimensions in LLMSE's 3.4M-URL index. EU sites pass WCAG at 42.7% — no better than the 43.8% global web average, so the EAA has produced no measurable accessibility premium yet. A North-South divide persists: Finland leads at 53.9%, Bulgaria trails at 27.5%. EU sites also beat the web on SEO, trust and privacy, but lag on AI-answer optimization.

We classified 3.36 million URLs by target-audience age across 154 distinct brackets. The web's content peaks at 30-45 — 14.7% more than the ad industry's coveted 25-34. Older-audience content earns the highest trust, privacy and basic-accessibility scores but the worst discoverability; the 30-45 bracket is 99.9% male while 18-24 is 67% female. Refreshed against a 2.4x-larger graded population, two earlier Gen Z anomalies have washed out.

We recomputed web-server market share and per-server quality across 3.17 million sites with a detected Server header in LLMSE's 3.4M-URL index. Apache leads at 29.2%, nginx follows at 26.3%, and Cloudflare is third at 19.6% — the big three still hold ~75%. But quality tracks the platform, not the protocol: modern deploy platforms (Vercel, Netlify) pass SEO ~5x more often than the legacy stack, website builders win accessibility, LiteSpeed is the WordPress server, and Cloudflare carries 7x the gambling traffic of Apache or nginx. Your server predicts your quality because it proxies who built the site.
