  1. Critical

    Links lack accessible text

    Why this matters

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

    Recommended action

    Add text to the links that describes their purpose, or use the 'aria-label' attribute to provide a text description for screen readers.

Text has insufficient colour contrast

WCAG 1.4.3 (AA)35 instances5 inspected pages

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

Why it matters

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

Recommended correction

Increase the contrast between the text color and the background color by using a color with a higher contrast ratio, such as black text on a white background or white text on a dark background.

Hidden elements can still receive keyboard focus

WCAG 2.4.3 (A)50 instances5 inspected pages

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

Why it 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 correction

Remove the element from the tab order or make it visible when focused, for example by adding a visible styling or an aria-hidden attribute set to false when the element is focused.

Interactive controls are not keyboard-accessible

WCAG 2.1.1 (A)75 instances5 inspected pages

A control that responds to clicks (a clickable element or an ARIA widget) cannot receive keyboard focus, so keyboard and switch users cannot operate it.

Why it matters

A control that responds to clicks (a clickable element or an ARIA widget) cannot receive keyboard focus, so keyboard and switch users cannot operate it.

Recommended correction

Add a tabindex attribute to the menu item or ensure it has focusable semantics, allowing keyboard users to access and interact with it.

06 · About this assessment

Evolize inspects publicly accessible website pages using automated browser-based testing and deterministic accessibility rules. Automated testing can identify many reproducible technical issues but cannot determine complete WCAG or legal compliance.

  • Publicly accessible surfaces only — no credentials, private systems, or source-code access.
  • Findings apply to the pages and states successfully inspected; automated analysis may not detect every issue.
  • Results reflect the site at the scan date and may have changed since.

Evolize provides digital risk intelligence and does not provide legal advice, certify compliance, or guarantee that litigation will not occur. Methodology · Security · Example assessment
