Accessibility
SiteScore runs automated accessibility checks that catch common, machine-detectable issues. Automated checks cannot confirm full accessibility compliance — they are a starting point for a broader manual and user-testing process.
What this feature checks
7 checks in this category. Every check links to the source markup it inspects.
Image alt text
Missing or empty alt attributes on content images.
Landmark regions
Presence of main, nav, header, and footer landmarks.
Form labels
Inputs without an associated <label>.
Heading order
Skipped heading levels that disrupt document outline.
Skip link
Presence of a "skip to content" link for keyboard users.
Button & link text
Empty or non-descriptive interactive element text.
Contrast (proxy)
Estimated contrast for text where colors can be computed.
How SiteScore inspects accessibility
A straightforward look at what happens when you run this analysis.
- 1
SiteScore walks the DOM checking for common, detectable accessibility issues.
- 2
Each finding includes the offending element so you can locate it in your markup.
- 3
Results clearly state that automated checks do not replace manual review or user testing.
What a finding looks like
Each finding includes severity, observed evidence, and a suggested fix. The data below is labeled sample data.
Form input missing label
<input type="email"> has no associated <label>.
Associate a descriptive <label> with each form control.
Evidence and limitations
- Automated checks detect roughly 30–40% of accessibility issues. Manual review and testing with assistive technology remain essential.
- Passing automated checks does not equal WCAG conformance.
How to act on findings
Treat each finding as a starting point. Use the evidence panel to locate the relevant markup, apply the suggested fix, then re-run the analysis to confirm the issue is resolved.
Severity is a guide, not a rule. A warning that affects your primary content may matter more than a critical issue on a low-traffic page.
Combine SiteScore with official tools — Search Console, the Rich Results Test, and PageSpeed Insights — for a complete picture.
