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

1. Critical

   Links lack accessible text

   WCAG 2.4.4 (A) · 1 inspected page · 1 instance
   Why this matters

   Links expose no accessible name, so their destination is unknown to screen reader users.

   Recommended action

   Add alt text to the image inside the link, or provide another way for screen readers to announce the link's purpose, like using aria-label or wrapping the image in a span with text.

2. Critical

   Buttons have no accessible name

   WCAG 4.1.2 (A) · 1 inspected page · 1 instance
   Why this matters

   Interactive buttons expose no accessible name, so their purpose cannot be determined by assistive technology.

   Recommended action

   Add an accessible name to the button by including text within the button element or using the aria-label attribute to provide a descriptive label.

3. Critical

   Buttons have no accessible name

   WCAG 4.1.2 (A) · 1 inspected page · 1 instance
   Why this matters

   Interactive buttons expose no accessible name, so their purpose cannot be determined by assistive technology.

   Recommended action

   Add an accessible name to the button, either by including visible text within the button element or by using the aria-label or aria-labelledby attributes to provide a text description of the button's purpose.

4. High

   Hidden elements can still receive keyboard focus

   WCAG 2.4.3 (A) · 5 inspected pages · 39 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

   Ensure that hidden interactive elements are removed from the tab order or made visible when they receive focus. This can be achieved by setting the 'tabindex' attribute to '-1' or by adjusting the element's visibility styles when it receives focus.

5. High

   Text has insufficient colour contrast

   WCAG 1.4.3 (AA) · 5 inspected pages · 12 instances
   Why this matters

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

   Recommended action

   Adjust the color of the text or its background to ensure the contrast ratio meets the minimum requirements. This can be achieved by using a color contrast analyzer tool to find suitable colors that meet the WCAG 2.1 guidelines for contrast.
