Reading a scan report
Issues, severity, WCAG mapping β what every part means.
Updated
Overall score
A 0β100 number. 80+ is generally considered "good" β meaningful WCAG AA conformance with minor issues. <60 means you have material conformance gaps.
Severity
We grade issues from Critical (likely blocks users with disabilities entirely β missing form labels, keyboard traps) through Serious, Moderate, down to Minor (best-practice nudges, like a duplicate landmark).
WCAG mapping
Every issue is tagged with the success criterion it violates (e.g. 1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum)). Click the tag to read WCAG's official definition.
Per-page issues
Each page in the scan has its own issue list. For each issue you'll see:
- The failing rule ("Elements must have sufficient color contrast").
- The selector of the failing element (
button.primary). - A snippet of the element's HTML.
- A "Why this matters" plain-English explanation.
- Remediation suggestions β and an "Ask AI" button for tougher cases.
Filtering & sorting
Use the toolbar at the top of the report to filter by severity, WCAG level, or rule. Useful when you're triaging a long list β start with Critical + WCAG A.
