In plain English

What this means for visitors

The scan found issues that may cause problems for visitors who use screen readers or keyboard only, or have low vision. This means some content may not be readable or navigable for them, which is a concern under ADA Title II. To start fixing, focus on the critical issues, such as making sure ARIA roles and attributes are used correctly. Automated scans like this one catch many issues, but not all, so further review is needed.

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.
