Accessibility Analysis

From the point of view of accessibility, the current version of SiteOne Crawler provides this analysis:

• the existence of alt attributes for the images
• existence of aria-* attributes for important elements on the page
• the existence of the role attribute for important elements such as nav, header, footer, etc.
• existence of labels for form elements
• existence of lang attribute in html

Recommendations

In practice, it is time-consuming to achieve perfect processing of accessibility. It’s a lot of “ant work”. However, it is good to implement accessibility elements at least in the main navigation elements and important form elements. Pareto’s rule applies here too - in 20% of the time you can achieve 80% of the effect towards good accessibility.

Further development ideas

Carrying out other accessibility analyses, e.g. color contrast analyses, seems very complicated for a tool of this type (it goes through and analyzes all pages).

However, if someone is interested in the accessibility area in more detail and has ideas for specific improvements, please open a feature request on GitHub.
