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 or those who navigate with keyboards. For example, missing ARIA parts can make interactive elements hard to use, while list items outside a list can confuse screen readers. To improve accessibility, start by fixing the critical issue and addressing the most common problems, like the missing ARIA parts. Automated scans like this one catch many issues, but not all, so further review is needed.

Findings

4 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 1.3.13 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.

#2MajorWCAG 1.3.119 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 4.1.212 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

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

#4MajorWCAG 4.1.21 elementRule details ↗

Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes

Ensure ARIA attributes are not prohibited for an element's role

Who it affects

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

First fix

Follow the guidance in the linked Deque rule page.

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.
