In plain English

What this means for visitors

The scan found one critical issue on the d51schools website, which means some buttons don't have a clear name that screen readers can read aloud to visitors who are blind or have low vision. This can make it hard for them to navigate the site. To improve accessibility, fix the button names first. Automated scans like this one catch many issues, but not all, so further review is a good idea.

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 4.1.21 elementRule details ↗

Buttons have no accessible name

Icon-only buttons (search, menu, close) are announced as 'button' with no purpose.

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

Add an aria-label to icon buttons (for example aria-label="Open menu").

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.
