In plain English

What this means for visitors

The scan found some issues that might affect visitors with disabilities, such as low vision or those using screen readers or keyboards only. For example, some text may be hard to read due to low contrast with its background, and some buttons or links may be too small to tap easily. To improve accessibility, consider fixing the contrast issue first, as it can greatly impact visitors with low vision. Keep in mind that automated scans like this one catch many but not all issues, so further review is recommended to ensure equal access for all visitors under ADA Title II.

Findings

3 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 4.1.21 elementRule 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

Remove tabindex from hidden elements or don't hide focusable content with aria-hidden.

#2MajorWCAG 1.4.31 elementRule details ↗

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).

#3MajorWCAG 2.5.81 elementRule 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

Make clickable targets at least 24×24 CSS pixels or add spacing.

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.
