In plain English
The scan found one major issue on the website, which is that the page language is not declared. This means that screen readers, used by visitors who are blind or have low vision, may not read the content correctly. To improve accessibility, declaring the page language should be fixed first. Automated scans like this one catch many issues, but not all, so further review is recommended to ensure accessibility for all visitors under ADA Title II.
Findings
Each item is one failing rule; the count shows how many elements on the page trigger it. Severity follows axe-core impact levels.
Screen readers don't know which language to pronounce the page in, so it may read English with a wrong accent or mispronounce everything.
Who it affects
Makes a task significantly harder (low contrast, links with no name, missing frame titles).
First fix
Add lang="en" to the <html> tag. Most CMS themes have this in the site settings or header template.
Severity guide

Makes a task significantly harder (low contrast, links with no name, missing frame titles).
Reduces clarity or consistency (heading order, landmarks, touch-target size).
