In plain English

What this means for visitors

The scan found a few issues on the website that might affect visitors with disabilities, such as those using screen readers. For example, the page lacks a title and doesn't declare its language, which can make it harder for screen readers to interpret the content. To improve accessibility, fixing the missing page title is a good first step. Automated scans like this one catch many issues, but not all, so further review is still needed to ensure the site is usable for everyone.

Findings

2 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.

#1MajorWCAG 2.4.21 elementRule details ↗

Page has no title

The browser tab and screen readers show nothing useful, so people can't tell pages apart.

Who it affects

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

First fix

Give each page a unique, descriptive title in the CMS page settings.

#2MajorWCAG 3.1.11 elementRule details ↗

Page language is not declared

Screen readers don't know which language to pronounce the page in, so it may read English with a wrong accent or mispronounce everything.

Who it affects

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

First fix

Add lang="en" to the <html> tag. Most CMS themes have this in the site settings or header template.

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).

Major

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

Minor

Reduces clarity or consistency (heading order, landmarks, touch-target size).

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.
