[EN] Web accessibility panel

The Snoobi accessibility-check function is in beta-test

Web accessibility ensures that all users, including people with disabilities, can fully use your website. Snoobi’s accessibility function helps you identify issues based on the WCAG guidelines.(Web Content Accessibility Guidelines).

We use an open source component called 'Pa11y' to handle the details.

The panel shows the most used web pages, with additional information that can be selected as metrics such as Exits and Entries. The last check is maintained complete with data and rime when that last check was performed.

By clicking on the [i]-button the actual check is performed on that page.
For the check to function the page should be accessible without the need to login.
If a url that will be checked contains url-parameters then these are ignored and the check will be performed on the 'base' url.

There are 3 issue types, the level can be selected from the Panel options:

1. Errors – Critical problems that fail WCAG criteria and must be fixed.
2. Warnings – Potential accessibility issues that may require review.
3. Notices – Informational messages to help improve accessibility but not direct failures.

There are also 3 WCAG Levels, these can also be selected from the panel options

1. A – Minimum level: essential for basic accessibility.
2. AA – Standard level: required by most legal frameworks (e.g., EU).
3. AAA – Highest level: advanced accessibility, often optional.

For more details on web site accessibility, visit the W3C WCAG Overview.

When the Snoobi accessibility check is performed and ready then a new window appears.

At the top this shows the url for which url the check was performed.

* Share enables you to share the report in an e-mail
* Print allows printing of the report
* You can open the url in a browser window

* Help displays the in-line short help

At the Top-Right there is an image of the page, that is visible as long as the page is openly available.

• The information about the error, warning or notice is still in English.
• The link to Search in w3.org that is provided allows for a quick search for the error etc. on the WCAG website and includes details, it uses the message and Duckduckgo to search.
• The 'Type' details the error type , the 'Message' explains the error and the 'Context' explains where on the web page source code the error or warning can be found.
• Scroll to see all errors, warning or notices.
• The window can be closed by using the 'X' at the top-right or the CLOSE Button at the bottom.

We advise to check regularly, but certainly when changes are made to the website.
