These findings combine the highest severity and broadest reach detected during this assessment.

1. Critical

   Form fields are missing labels

   WCAG 1.3.1 (A) · 5 inspected pages · 5 instances
   Why this matters

   Form inputs have no programmatically associated label, so assistive technology cannot announce what to enter.

   Recommended action

   Associate a <label> with each field via for/id, or use aria-label / aria-labelledby. Placeholder text is not a label.

2. High

   Hidden elements can still receive keyboard focus

   WCAG 2.4.3 (A) · 5 inspected pages · 30 instances
   Why this matters

   An element is not visible but remains in the tab order, so a sighted keyboard user loses track of focus when it lands there.

   Recommended action

   Keep this element out of the tab order while its containing region is hidden — remove it from focus (for example tabindex="-1"), or apply the inert attribute to the hidden container where supported. Restore normal focusability when the region becomes visible.

3. High

   Text has insufficient colour contrast

   WCAG 1.4.3 (AA) · 5 inspected pages · 10 instances
   Why this matters

   Text and background colours do not meet the minimum contrast ratio, reducing legibility.

   Recommended action

   Increase the contrast ratio to at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text.
