Accessibility focus

What Crawl Insight evaluates

Findings map cleanly onto WCAG criteria and ship with the same severity and fix structure as the rest of your audit.

SR

Screen reader compatibility

Landmarks, labels, alt text and ARIA usage that decide whether assistive tech can actually navigate the page.

CC

Color contrast

Text, links and interactive states checked against WCAG ratios — including hover and focus.

SE

Semantic HTML

Correct use of headings, lists, buttons and links — the structure search engines lean on too.

KB

Keyboard navigation

Tab order, focus traps and visible focus states for users who never touch a mouse.

UX

User experience

Target sizes, motion sensitivity and form clarity that reduce friction for everyone.

IN

Inclusive practices

Language declarations, descriptive link text and consistent navigation across templates.

Animated checklist

The accessibility pass we run on every audit

All images have meaningful alt text

Decorative images correctly hidden from assistive tech.

Single H1 with logical heading order

No skipped levels and headings that describe their section.

Color contrast meets WCAG AA

Text, icons and stateful UI all hit the required ratios.

Visible, predictable focus states

Keyboard users always know where they are on the page.

Form fields use real labels

Inputs are associated, described and recoverable from errors.

Links and buttons are distinct

Used semantically, with descriptive text instead of "click here".

Landmarks & regions present

Header, main, nav and footer mapped so screen readers can jump.

No keyboard traps

Every interactive element can be reached and exited via keyboard.

Why it matters

Accessibility and SEO are the same job

Shared signals

  • Semantic HTML helps both screen readers and crawlers
  • Descriptive link text doubles as anchor relevance
  • Strong heading hierarchy clarifies topic and structure
  • Fast, stable mobile rendering improves both UX and rankings

Recommendations you'll get

  • Per-page list of WCAG criteria affected
  • Component-level fixes for templates and design systems
  • Severity ranked by impact on real users
  • Re-scan validation once changes ship
An accessible site is, almost by definition, a site search engines can read clearly. Investing in one usually upgrades the other.
Mobile-first accessibility

Because most barriers show up on small screens first

Tap targets that overlap, text that shrinks below readable sizes, focus states that disappear under a thumb — Crawl Insight surfaces these mobile-specific accessibility issues alongside the SEO ones.
