Landmark Structure

Action

1 landmarks

FIX

1 landmarks

No <main> landmark found

Screen reader users cannot quickly navigate to the primary content. Wrap your main content in <main>.

1 <nav> landmark(s) found

No banner (header) landmark

No contentinfo (footer) landmark

Skip navigation link is missing (WCAG 2.4.1)

Add a skip link as the first focusable element so keyboard users can bypass repeated navigation.

Page Structure — as a screen reader sees it

Screen reader users cannot quickly navigate to the primary content. Wrap your main content in <main>.

Why this matters

Without a <main> landmark, screen-reader users can't skip past the navigation to the page content — every page starts with re-reading the menu.

Learn more ▾

The <main> element marks the page's primary content area. Assistive tech offers a 'jump to main' shortcut — but only if <main> exists. Without it, every page navigation forces re-reading the header. Wrap your primary content in a single <main>.

Source: WAI-ARIA / WCAG 2.4.1

Add a skip link as the first focusable element so keyboard users can bypass repeated navigation.

Why this matters

Without a skip-nav link, keyboard users tab through every nav item before reaching content — every page, every visit.

Learn more ▾

WCAG 2.4.1 (Bypass Blocks) requires a mechanism to skip past repeated content. The standard implementation is a 'Skip to main content' link that's the first focusable element, visually hidden until focused. Three lines of HTML + four of CSS.

Form Accessibility

Action

7 of 7 controls have issues

FIX

7 of 7 controls have issues

4 control(s) without accessible label

Form controls need a <label>, aria-label, or aria-labelledby for screen readers.

Got: <input type="text" name="UserName" id="UserName">; <input type="text">; <input type="Password" name="Password1" id="Password1">; <input type="Password">

3 control(s) rely on placeholder only

Placeholder text disappears on focus and is not a reliable label.

Got: <input type="text" name="UserID" id="UserID">; <input type="password" name="Password" id="Password">; <input type="text" name="CompanyCode" id="CompanyCode">

7 controls

0 labeled

3 placeholder only

4 unlabeled

Control	Type	Label	Method
#UserID	text	(User Id)	placeholder only
#Password	password	(Password)	placeholder only
#CompanyCode	text	(Company Code)	placeholder only
#Password1	Password	(none)	none
#UserName	text	(none)	none
input	Password	(none)	none
input	text	(none)	none

Form controls need a <label>, aria-label, or aria-labelledby for screen readers.

Why this matters

Form controls without labels — assistive tech announces 'edit text' with no context; users can't complete forms.

Source: WCAG 2.1 SC 3.3.2

Placeholder text disappears on focus and is not a reliable label.

Why this matters

Placeholder-only labels disappear when the user starts typing — they must remember what the field was for.

Learn more ▾

Placeholders are NOT labels. They vanish on input, fail color contrast checks (most are gray), and don't satisfy WCAG SC 3.3.2. Always use a real <label> alongside (or aria-labelledby).

Document Language

Action

Missing <html lang> attribute (WCAG 3.1.1)

FIX

Missing <html lang> attribute (WCAG 3.1.1)

Without `<html lang="...">`, screen readers default to the user's system language even when reading content in a different one -- words get pronounced wrong (English text read with French phonetics, etc.). Add a BCP-47 language tag to the <html> root element.

Mobile-Readable Font Sizes

Action

50% of visible text renders at >= 12 CSS px (6 below threshold)

FIX

50% of visible text renders at >= 12 CSS px (6 below threshold)

6 text node(s) render below 12 CSS pixels on mobile

Mobile browsers default the root font-size to 16 px; text below ~ 12 px (75% of root) is hard to read without zooming. WCAG 1.4.4 (Resize Text) requires the page to support 200% zoom without loss of functionality -- which most layouts handle, but small base text still costs readability and conversion. Audit which selectors set sizes below 12 px (often footers, fine print, table cells) and bump them to 14-16 px or use rem units that scale with user preferences. Examples: <a> 11.9px ("Do you accept the Terms of Use?"); <a> 10.1px ("Forgot your password?"); <a> 10.1px ("Forgot your User ID?"); <a> 11.9px ("Copyright ©2026 UL Verification Services..."); <a> 11.9px ("Terms of Use").

404 Error Page

Action

HTTP 404, bare page

FIX

HTTP 404, bare page

Correct 404 status code returned

Got: HTTP 404

Bare server default 404 page

The 404 page has no custom styling. Users hitting a broken link see a generic error with no way to navigate back. Add a custom 404 page with your site navigation and a search bar.

Heading Hierarchy

2 headings

REVIEW

2 headings

No H1 heading found

Every page should have one H1 that describes the page content.

H3 ComplianceWire® for Life Sciences Achieve Compliance for 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11 Validation Requirements
H3 Login

Every page should have one H1 that describes the page content.

Why this matters

No H1 means screen-reader users can't identify the page's primary topic, and Google's content-extraction degrades.

Learn more ▾

The H1 is the document title for assistive tech and a strong signal to search engines about page topic. Pages without one force screen readers to fall back to the <title> attribute or page chrome. Add a single H1 that names the page's primary subject.

Mobile Keyboard & Autofill

Action

2/3 eligible field(s) missing autocomplete or inputmode

REVIEW

2/3 eligible field(s) missing autocomplete or inputmode

2 field(s) missing recommended autocomplete attribute

WCAG 1.3.5 (Level AA): inputs whose purpose maps to a Common Input Purpose value should declare it via `autocomplete=`. Required for password managers, browser autofill, and assistive tech that customizes inputs (e.g., simplified keyboards). Mobile autofill in particular cuts form-completion time by 30-50% when these are present. Affected purposes: username, current-password.

Got: <input type="text" name="UserName" id="UserName">, <input type="Password">

Iframe Accessibility

REVIEW

2/2 iframe(s) missing title; 0 placeholder(s)

WCAG 4.1.2: iframes need a title attribute so screen readers can announce what's embedded. Without one, the announcement is just "iframe" -- the user has no way to decide whether to enter or skip.

REVIEW

Accessibility

These checks highlight opportunities to improve the accessibility of your web app. Automatic detection can only detect a subset of issues and does not guarantee the accessibility of your web app, so manual testing is also encouraged.

Contrast

Low-contrast text is difficult or impossible for many users to read. Learn how to provide sufficient color contrast.

Why this matters

Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.

Failing Elements
Do you accept the Terms of Use? `div.row > div.col-lg-12 > span.has-feedback > a.small`
Forgot your password? `div.row > div.form-group > div.col-md-6 > a.small`
Forgot your User ID? `div.row > div.form-group > div.col-md-6 > a.small`

These are opportunities to improve the legibility of your content.

Names and labels

Informative elements should aim for short, descriptive alternate text. Decorative elements can be ignored with an empty alt attribute. Learn more about the `alt` attribute.

Why this matters

Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.

Failing Elements
body > section.intro > div.backstretch > img `body > section.intro > div.backstretch > img`

Screen reader users rely on frame titles to describe the contents of frames. Learn more about frame titles.

Why this matters

Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.

Failing Elements
body > iframe#cw `body > iframe#cw`
body > iframe#cw `body > iframe#cw`

These are opportunities to improve the semantics of the controls in your application. This may enhance the experience for users of assistive technology, like a screen reader.

Internationalization and localization

If a page doesn't specify a `lang` attribute, a screen reader assumes that the page is in the default language that the user chose when setting up the screen reader. If the page isn't actually in the default language, then the screen reader might not announce the page's text correctly. Learn more about the `lang` attribute.

Heading Text Quality

1 heading-text-quality issue(s) detected

PASS

1 heading-text-quality issue(s) detected

1 heading(s) are over 120 characters -- likely a misformatted paragraph

Headings beyond 120 characters are almost always full sentences or paragraphs that received heading semantics by mistake (e.g., a CMS editor selected the wrong block type, or a template wrapped a body paragraph in `<h2>`). Screen readers will announce these as "heading" and read the entire paragraph at heading prosody. Affected: - H3: 155 chars

Got: 1 >120-char heading(s)

Alt Text Quality

1 of 2 images have issues

PASS

1 of 2 images have issues

1 image(s) missing alt attribute

Images without alt text are invisible to screen readers.

1 image(s) with good alt text

2 images 1 good alt text 1 missing

Issue	Count
missing	1 image(s)

Images without alt text are invisible to screen readers.

Why this matters

Each image without alt text is a WCAG 1.1.1 failure — invisible to screen-reader users, lost from Google Image Search.

WCAG 2.1 Level A requires text alternatives for non-decorative images. Empty alt='' is fine for decorative; meaningful images need descriptive text. Common fixes: CMS audit + bulk add, build-time linter (alt-text-required ESLint rule), CI gate on Lighthouse a11y score.

https://www.ul.com/services/digital-applications/compliance-lms-for-life-scie… ("Learn More")

Why this matters

Generic anchor text ('click here', 'read more', 'learn more') tells screen readers and search engines nothing about the destination.

Learn more ▾

Out-of-context lists of links read by AT (one navigation pattern) become useless when every link says 'click here'. Use the destination's title or topic as anchor text. Doubles as SEO win — Google passes anchor-text relevance to the destination.
