Accessibility (a11y) audit + WCAG 2.2 AA
1 min readUpdated May 22, 2026
What the Accessibility audit covers
/dashboard/sites/<id>/audit/accessibility runs axe-core against every audited page and scores against WCAG 2.2 Level AA — the same standard the European Accessibility Act (effective June 2025) requires from B2C websites.
POUR pillars
axe-core findings are grouped by the 4 WCAG principles:
- Perceivable — alt text, captions, contrast, text resize
- Operable — keyboard navigation, focus order, target size, motion safety
- Understandable — language, predictable behaviour, error identification
- Robust — parsing, valid name/role/value
What you get
- Per-pillar score (0-100)
- Overall a11y score
- Top-10 violations table with WCAG criteria, impact (minor/moderate/serious/critical), and node count
- Per-page table with all 4 pillar scores + Flesch-Kincaid reading-grade level
- "Legal exposure" callout when critical violations exceed threshold — visible to non-technical stakeholders in PDF section 14
