Accessibility

PerfLeaf runs an automated accessibility scan on every page it crawls, detecting violations against WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards.

The accessibility scan checks for common violations including:

  • Missing or empty alt attributes on images
  • Form inputs without associated labels
  • Insufficient colour contrast
  • Missing landmark regions (<main>, <nav>, etc.)
  • Incorrect heading hierarchy
  • Missing ARIA attributes
  • Keyboard navigation issues

The Accessibility Overview card shows:

  • Total accessibility issues — sum across all crawled pages
  • Average issues per page — total ÷ number of pages

The page report shows the number of violations found on that specific URL.

Accessibility is one of the six Performance Score categories. The grade is based on the total violation count:

  • A — zero violations
  • Lower grades as violation counts increase
  1. Identify the pages with the highest violation counts via the Page Leaderboard.
  2. Open the Page Report for those pages.
  3. Use AI Suggestions to get prioritised fixes.
