In plain English

What this means for visitors

The scan found that some text on the website has poor contrast with its background, which can make it hard for visitors with low vision to read. This issue might affect people who use screen readers or rely on keyboard navigation, as they may struggle to understand or navigate the content. To improve accessibility, fixing the contrast issues should be the first step. Automated scans like this one catch many problems, but not all, so further review is still necessary to ensure the site is usable for everyone, as required by ADA Title II.

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

Text doesn't have enough contrast against its background

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

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.
