In plain English
The scan found issues that may make it hard for visitors with disabilities to use the website. For example, text that's hard to read because of poor contrast can be difficult for people with low vision. To improve accessibility, start by fixing the contrast issues, as this will help the most visitors. Automated scans like this one catch many problems, but not all, so further review is needed to ensure the site is usable for everyone, including those who rely on screen readers or keyboard-only navigation.
