In plain English

What this means for visitors

The scan found issues that may cause problems for visitors with disabilities, such as screen reader users who rely on correct coding to navigate the site. To improve accessibility, start by fixing the critical issues, like missing parts in interactive elements and list items outside lists. This will help ensure equal access to information for all visitors, as required by ADA Title II. Automated scans like this one catch many issues, but not all, so further review is recommended.

Findings

5 issue types 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 1.3.111 elementsRule details ↗

Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents

Ensure elements with an ARIA role that require parent roles are contained by them

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

Follow the guidance in the linked Deque rule page.

#2CriticalWCAG 1.3.13 elementsRule details ↗

ARIA widget is missing required parts

A menu/tab/list widget is incomplete, so assistive technology can't operate it.

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

Fix the widget markup or update the plugin that generates it.

#3MajorWCAG 1.3.112 elementsRule details ↗

List items are outside a list

Items are marked as list entries but not inside a list.

Who it affects

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

First fix

Wrap <li> elements in a <ul> or <ol>.

#4MajorWCAG 4.1.21 elementRule details ↗

Embedded frames have no title

Embedded maps, calendars and videos are announced as 'frame' with no description.

Who it affects

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

First fix

Add a title attribute to each <iframe> (for example title="Google Map of the district office").

#5MajorWCAG 2.4.41 elementRule details ↗

Links have no readable text

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.

Severity guide

How to read the counts

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.
