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 accurate links and lists. To improve accessibility, fix the critical issue first, which likely affects multiple users. Automated scans like this one catch many problems, but not all, so further review is needed 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.

#1CriticalWCAG 4.1.21 elementRule details ↗

Invalid ARIA attributes

ARIA attributes are used where they aren't allowed, which can make screen readers announce wrong information.

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

Remove or correct the attribute; often caused by a plugin or theme.

#2MajorWCAG 1.3.15 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>.

#3MajorWCAG 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

Critical

Blocks a task outright for some visitors (for example an image-only flyer with no text, or a form field with no label).

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.
