The keyboard test

We pressed Tab 72 times through the homepage, as someone who can’t use a mouse would. What it found is shown here and is not yet counted in the score.

• Passed: “Skip to content” works. Keyboard users can jump past the menu.
• Problem: 1 control shows no sign of focus. Keyboard users may not be able to tell where they are.
