In plain English
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, some interactive elements are missing necessary parts, and hidden content can still be accessed, which can be confusing. To improve accessibility, start by fixing the critical issue, which is likely causing the most significant problems. Automated scans like this one catch many issues, but not all, so further review is recommended to ensure the site is usable for everyone.
Findings
Each item is one failing rule; the count shows how many elements on the page trigger it. Severity follows axe-core impact levels.
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.
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.
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.
