Alt Text Quality

All 9 images OK

9 image(s) with good alt text

9 images 9 good alt text

All images have appropriate alt text.

Form Accessibility

1 of 3 controls have issues

PASS

1 of 3 controls have issues

1 control(s) without accessible label

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

Got: <input type="checkbox" id="search-bar-check">

2 control(s) properly labeled

3 controls

2 labeled

0 placeholder only

1 unlabeled

Control	Type	Label	Method
#search-query	search	Search query	aria-label
#mobile-menu-check	checkbox	Toggle mobile menu	aria-label
#search-bar-check	checkbox	(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.

Link & Button Quality

1 issue(s) across 464 links and 10 buttons

PASS

1 issue(s) across 464 links and 10 buttons

1 link(s) with generic text

Generic link text like 'click here' doesn't describe the destination.

Got: /meetings/regional-meetings/see/see-14/ ("Read more")

2 link(s) open in new tab without warning

Add '(opens in new tab)' to link text or aria-label.

Got: https://lirportal.ripe.net; https://status.ripe.net/

461 link(s) with descriptive text

464 links

0 empty

1 generic text

0 empty buttons

Element	Text	Issue	Suggested Fix
https://lirportal.ripe.net	LIR Portal	new tab	Add '(opens in new tab)' to text
https://status.ripe.net/	Visit status page	new tab	Add '(opens in new tab)' to text
/meetings/regional-meetings/see/see-14/	Read more	generic text	Replace with descriptive text
Before: Read more Suggested: See 14

471 links and buttons have descriptive text

Generic link text like 'click here' doesn't describe the destination.

/meetings/regional-meetings/see/see-14/ ("Read 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.

Source: WCAG 2.4.4 / Google Search Central

Add '(opens in new tab)' to link text or aria-label.

https://lirportal.ripe.net; https://status.ripe.net/

Why this matters

Links with target="_blank" without rel="noopener" leak the originating page's window context — security and UX issue.

Learn more ▾

Without rel="noopener", the new tab can navigate the original tab via window.opener (tab-nabbing attack). Modern browsers default to noopener for target=_blank but only since recent versions. Always set rel="noopener noreferrer" explicitly.

Lighthouse Accessibility Audits

Score 97/100 — 1 failing, 30 passed

PASS

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.

Best practices

Touch targets with sufficient size and spacing help users who may have difficulty targeting small controls to activate the targets. Learn more about touch targets.

Why this matters

Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.

Failing Elements
IPs & ASNs `div.sm:col-span-2 > nav.block > div.flex > a.text-lg`
