What we found

What is wrong and who it affects, most serious first.

• 59

  59 controls show no sign when a keyboard user moves to them, so they can’t tell where they are on the page.

  Not in the score

  • Keyboard users
  • Low vision
• 35

  Text in 35 places is too faint against its background, so people with low vision, or anyone reading a phone in sunlight, may struggle to read it.

  • Low vision
  • Color blindness
• 31

  31 controls sit inside others, such as buttons inside links, so screen readers may skip some of them and keyboard users may not reach them.

  • Screen readers
  • Keyboard users
• 5

  5 parts of the page carry details for screen readers under misspelled or made-up names, so screen readers ignore them.

  • Screen readers
• 4

  4 buttons or links are so small, or so close to others, that people with shaky hands may tap the wrong thing.

  Not in the score

  • Limited hand movement
• 4

  4 pages have to be scrolled sideways on a narrow phone screen, so people who enlarge text must scroll back and forth to read each line.

  • Low vision
• 1

  1 embedded section, such as a map, video or form from another site, has no title, so a blind visitor’s screen reader can’t say what it is.

  • Screen readers
• 1

  1 list is built incorrectly, so screen readers may not announce it as a list or say how many items it has.

  • Screen readers
• 1

  1 image has no description, so a blind visitor’s screen reader says only “image” or reads out a file name.

The keyboard test

We pressed Tab 146 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: 28 controls show no sign of focus. Keyboard users may not be able to tell where they are.
