In plain English
The scan found issues that may cause problems for visitors with disabilities, such as those using screen readers or having low vision. Links without readable text and text with low contrast can make it hard for them to navigate or read the site. To improve accessibility, fix the links and contrast issues first. Automated scans like this one catch many problems, but not all, so further review is needed to ensure the site is usable for everyone.
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 announce these links as just 'link', so people can't tell where they go. Common with icon-only links and 'read more' buttons.
Who it affects
Makes a task significantly harder (low contrast, links with no name, missing frame titles).
First fix
Give every link visible text, or add an aria-label describing the destination.
Light grey text on white, or text over photos, is hard or impossible to read for people with low vision or color blindness, and for anyone outdoors on a phone.
Who it affects
Makes a task significantly harder (low contrast, links with no name, missing frame titles).
First fix
Use a darker text color or lighter background so the contrast ratio is at least 4.5:1 (3:1 for large text).
Severity guide
Blocks a task outright for some visitors (for example an image-only flyer with no text, or a form field with no label).
Makes a task significantly harder (low contrast, links with no name, missing frame titles).
Reduces clarity or consistency (heading order, landmarks, touch-target size).
