Introduction

The most common accessibility failure mentioned in a common accessibility error is tested in the high contrast test, the second most common error is tested in the speed tests with alternative text for images test.

The third most common error is "Missing form input labels".

 

Method of measurement

For this test, we use WAVE and take a look at the details of the errors.

All cookie banners and so on are accepted before we start WAVE with Shift-Ctrl-U. When a speed test starts automatically, WAVE is started when the test is completed.

For this test we register the number of x missing form label per homepage.

 

Speed tests to test

Because this is a relative simple test, the unique speed tests as collected at ZOMDir will be tested.
