What we found

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

41 buttons, links or menu items have no name, so a blind visitor’s screen reader announces them with no clue to what they do.

Critical barrier

800 items that belong in menus, lists or sets of tabs sit outside them, so screen readers may not announce them as part of their group.

140
140 lists are built incorrectly, so screen readers may not announce them as lists or say how many items they have.

78
78 buttons or links are so small, or so close to others, that people with shaky hands may tap the wrong thing.

The keyboard test

We pressed Tab 61 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: Focus can be seen. Every control we reached shows where the keyboard is.

Questions about this page

Does this mean the town is breaking the law?

No. This is an automated check against WCAG 2.1 AA, the standard the ADA Title II rule sets for state and local governments. Automated checks find many problems but not all, and only a full review can say whether a site meets the rule.

How often is this page updated?

Every three months, in January, April, July and October. Once its staff claim this page, they can also scan the site again, once a day; the new result shows here like our regular check, marked as checked at their request. The date at the top shows the latest check, and the score can go up as problems are fixed.

How can the town respond?

Staff with an email address ending in @glasgowvirginia.org can claim this page to set its status for residents, see where each problem is, and scan the site again. Think a result is wrong? Tell us and we will check it again.
