The Accessibility report empowers teams to monitor accessibility across their entire account, helping them achieve compliance with legal and organizational accessibility standards.
Features:
Flexible Exploration: Easily group, sort, and filter issues by type, WCAG version (e.g., 2.0, 2.1), severity (critical, major, minor), and conformance level (A, AA, AAA).
Prioritization Tools: Quickly identify critical issues that may block access for users with disabilities.
Proactive Insights: Spot recurring accessibility patterns to address underlying structural or content-related problems.
Below are common jobs that can be accomplished with this report. These examples represent just a subset of what’s possible using filters, groupings, and saved views.
⭐️ EXAMPLE REPORTS
-Show Me All Critical Accessibility Issues
Filter by Impact = Critical
Group by Issue Type and WCAG Criteria
Use this to prioritize issues that present major accessibility barriers
Let's explore an example of instances where image alternate text is missing.
-Find All WCAG 2.1AA Specific Issues
Filter by WCAG Version = 2.1 (note that 2.1 is inclusive of 2.0)
Filter by Conformance Level AA (note that AA is inclusive of A)
Here we also applied an Impact filter to only show Critical issues.
-Identify Issues Across Sites
Group by Issue Type, then count distinct Pages Affected
Helpful for identifying template-level or component issues that need upstream fixes
Here you can see that we've added a URL domain grouping so we can quickly see which sites have common accessibility issues:
-Show Issues by Page Type
Use page URL patterns or path grouping to isolate issues by:
Microsite
Section
Page template
Notice in the resulting report that we have some work to do on our blog posts:
-Find Accessibility Issues by Location
If you run scans with geographic targeting or per-market segmentation: Group by Audit or location.
-Track Accessibility Fix Progress Over Time
Use a Saved View filtered by a specific issue type or severity
Re-run audits and track how issue counts change
-Export Accessibility Issues for Engineering or Compliance Teams
Use the Export option to share actionable lists
Include metadata like severity, guideline reference, and page URL
