In plain English

What this means for visitors

The scan found some issues on the Garfield16 website that might affect visitors with disabilities. For example, some content can be accessed by keyboard but is hidden, and some buttons are too small to tap easily on a touchscreen. This could cause problems for people who use screen readers, keyboard only, or have low vision. To improve accessibility, fix the hidden content and small touch targets first. Automated scans like this one catch many issues, but not all, so further review is recommended.

Findings

2 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.

#1MajorWCAG 4.1.24 elementsRule details ↗

Hidden content can receive focus

Keyboard users land on elements that screen readers say don't exist.

Who it affects

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

First fix

#2MajorWCAG 2.5.82 elementsRule details ↗

Touch targets are too small

Small links and buttons are hard to tap for people with motor impairments.

Who it affects

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

First fix

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.
