Hidden elements can still receive keyboard focus
ComponentRef K5Z195
An element is not visible but remains in the tab order, so a sighted keyboard user loses track of focus when it lands there.

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
07 · Continuous monitoring
This public report captures one assessment. Evolize monitoring rescans the website, detects new and recurring findings, tracks changes over time and verifies corrections.
