Accessibility finding
Status per WCAG success criterion across the site
Accessibility Error Severity: High
Part of the audit Compliance status and evidence. Finding id: accessibility.conformancePerCriterion.
What it costs you
The site does not meet this criterion on the pages listed. A conformance claim that includes it is not supported by the scan.
What to do
Open the findings for this criterion and fix them by template. Treat a criterion without findings as not tested by hand, not as passed.
What it checks
- Accessibility conformance for each requirement
How to fix it
Work through the criterion by template
- Open the findings of accessibility.scannerAgreement for this criterion.
- Sort them by template; fix the template with the most pages first.
- Decide the review items once per template.
How to check: Recrawl: the criterion has no row any more, or only review items that have a decision.
A real case
The UK Government Digital Service monitored 1,203 public sector websites from January 2022 to September 2024. The most common problems were low colour contrast, missing visible focus, parts that cannot be used with a keyboard, and layouts that do not adapt to screen size or zoom.
