The WebAIM Million 2025 report found that nearly 95% of one million home pages tested failed to meet WCAG compliance, despite a slight reduction in overall failures from the previous year. The audit highlights that as websites become more complex with additional design elements, accessibility issues proportionally increase. The report identifies six common failure categories, predominantly low-contrast text and missing alt text for images, posing barriers to users relying on assistive technologies. Automated and manual testing approaches are necessary to identify these failures comprehensively.
Low-contrast text can leave users with low vision unable to read faint text, depriving them of essential information. Compliance with color contrast guidelines is crucial.
