In plain English

What this means for visitors

The scan found one critical issue on the Hudson website, where an image is missing alternative text, which can cause problems for visitors using screen readers. This means someone who is blind or has low vision might not understand the content of the image. To improve accessibility, fix the missing alternative text first. Automated scans like this one catch many issues, but not all, so further review is recommended.

Findings

1 issue type found on the homepage

Each item is one failing rule; the count shows how many elements on the page trigger it. Severity follows axe-core impact levels.

#1CriticalWCAG 1.1.11 elementRule details ↗

Images are missing alternative text

Screen readers can't describe these images, so blind and low-vision visitors miss the information they contain (flyers, event posters, charts).

Who it affects

Blocks a task outright for some visitors (for example an image-only flyer with no text, or a form field with no label).

First fix

Open the image in your CMS editor and fill in the 'Alt text' / 'Alternative text' field.

Severity guide

How to read the counts

Critical

Blocks a task outright for some visitors (for example an image-only flyer with no text, or a form field with no label).

Major

Makes a task significantly harder (low contrast, links with no name, missing frame titles).

Minor

Reduces clarity or consistency (heading order, landmarks, touch-target size).

What this grade does and does not cover

  • Covers: the public homepage only, loaded once in a desktop browser, tested with axe-core against WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA rules (a superset of the WCAG 2.1 AA standard in the DOJ rule).
  • Does not cover: inner pages, PDFs and documents, logged-in portals, video captions, alt-text quality, keyboard usability of custom widgets, or anything that needs a human judgment.
  • A grade is a monitoring signal, not a legal assessment or certification. How we score.
