This is exactly what arrives in your hosted report. It was generated by the same pipeline paying customers get, scanning a real public recipe site. Every selector, failing HTML snippet, contrast ratio, and suggested color below is real scan data — the plain-English explanations are the only written prose, and they contain no numbers by design.

This is an automated scan. Automated testing detects only part of all accessibility barriers — manual review by a person is still needed for full coverage. This report does not determine legal or ADA compliance.

What's wrong

Some text does not stand out enough from the color behind it, so it is hard to read.

Who it hurts

People with low vision or color blindness, and anyone reading on a phone in bright sunlight.

The fix

Darken the text or lighten its background until the two clearly separate. We computed a passing color you can drop in for each element below.

Links must be distinguishable without relying on color

Serious · 8 elements

WCAG: wcag2a, wcag141 · rule: link-in-text-block

What's wrong

Some links are set apart from the surrounding text only by color, with no underline or other visible cue.

Who it hurts

People who cannot perceive the color difference can miss that the words are clickable.

The fix

Add an underline (or another non-color cue) to links that sit inside paragraphs so they are obvious without relying on color.

Links must have discernible text

Serious · 14 elements

WCAG: wcag2a, wcag244, wcag412 · rule: link-name

What's wrong

Some links have no readable text, so a screen reader announces them as an empty or unlabeled link.

Who it hurts

Screen-reader users hear a link with no destination and cannot tell where it goes.

The fix

Give each link visible text, or an accessible label, that describes where it leads.
