In plain English

What this means for visitors

The scan found significant issues on the website, which may cause problems for visitors with disabilities. For example, screen reader users may have trouble navigating the site due to missing or incorrect ARIA roles and list items outside lists. To improve accessibility, start by fixing the critical issues, such as ensuring ARIA roles have the correct parents and adding required parts to ARIA widgets. Keep in mind that automated scans don't catch everything, so further review is needed.

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 1.3.113 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.

Who it affects

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.
