Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1
    Open the Single Page Scan demo and run a scan.
  2. 2
    Results are grouped into three tabs: Results (automated violations), Manual Review (human-judgment criteria), and ARIA (widget pattern validation).
  3. 3
    Violations are confirmed accessibility failures. These need fixing.
  4. 4
    Incomplete items are potential issues that need manual verification — axe-core couldn't determine pass/fail automatically.
  5. 5
    Passes are rules the page met. These confirm what's working.
  6. 6
    Impact levels: critical > serious > moderate > minor. Fix critical issues first.
  7. 7
    Each violation links to the WCAG criterion and a help URL with fix guidance.
  8. 8
    Use the WCAG Version and Level dropdowns to narrow results (e.g., Level A only sees the most fundamental rules).
