"The WAVE accessibility engine was used to analyze the rendered DOM of all pages after scripting and styles were applied, detecting end-user accessibility barriers and WCAG 2.2 A/AA conformance failures."
"Across the one million home pages, 56,114,377 distinct accessibility errors were detected, resulting in an average of 56.1 errors per page."
"Although this report describes only a subset of accessibility issues on only 1,000,000 home pages, it provides a quantified and reliable representation of the current state of accessibility."
WebAIM's eighth annual accessibility evaluation of the top one million websites found 56,114,377 distinct accessibility errors, averaging 56.1 errors per page. The evaluation utilized the WAVE API to analyze the rendered DOM of home pages, identifying end-user accessibility barriers and WCAG 2.2 conformance failures. The report highlights the limitations of automated tools, noting that not all accessibility issues can be detected. Despite only covering a subset of issues, the findings provide a reliable representation of web accessibility trends over time.
