WebAIM Million - 2026 Update
https://webaim.org/projects/million/"The 2026 update to WebAIM's annual analysis of the top one million home pages is available. This year saw an *increase* in detectable errors.
A primary concern is the significant increase in home page complexity and ARIA code—both of which correlate to increased detectable errors."

Why WebAIM’s Report Only Found 6 Issues on a Million Pages, by (not on Mastodon or Bluesky):

Aline von Bornhaupt shares the common issues, from the latest #WebAIM 2025 report on #accessibility of the top 1,000,000 sites. 94.8% of home pages had detected WCAG 2 failures. You can get charts and tables at https://webaim.org/projects/million/

How to Audit Web Accessibility With [the] WAVE Extension, by (not on Mastodon or Bluesky):

come check out the #WebAIM virtual conference tomorrow! Ted Drake and I will be talking about the challenges involved with trying to use AI to draft alt text; inaccuracies, hallucinations/confabulations, sanitization of disability representation and bias, lack of surrounding context, and more. Now with new potential solutions and prompts from when we presented this same topic back at #CSUN. #A11y https://conference.webaim.org/

For those who don't know, WebAIM @webaim is a non-profit service centre operating out of Utah State University.
They run the WebAIM Million project, which reports on the accessibility of the home pages of the top 1000,000 websites. [1]
Over the years, I've found their resources on Creating Accessible Documents to be a reliable link to share with folks to begin learning about document accessibility. [2]

Sad news: the WebAIM mailing list is shutting down on August 27.
The archives will remain available.
Since 1999, the WebAIM @webaim email list has distributed discussions on web accessibility and provided a virtual community for a diverse range of members. I've been subscribed since 2002, and I learned more about accessibility from the list and its members than from any other single source on the web.
End of an era.

#Barrierefrei #Webdesign #a11y
#Joomla Kunden-Website: Lighthouse gibt 100% für Barrierefreiheit. Der Joomla eigene Barriere-Checker meckert auch nicht. Aber #Webaim https://wave.webaim.org/ gibt Kontrast-Warnungen für die Überschriften im Footer heraus, selbst wenn Hintergrund weiß und Schrift schwarz eingestellt ist. Wie kann das sein? False Positive von Webaim?

WebAIM Million Results Show That Shopping Sites Have Worst Accessibility, by @cerovac_a11y:

About the complexity in websites, my observations are in line with the new #webaim million report:

Just did the "Global Digital Accessibility Salary Survey" by #WebAim. Looking forward to the results!

The link on the website shown after submitting the survey is wrong, by the way...

@weirdwriter I also find this article and it's comments to be quite interesting. I don't understand allot of this so analyzing for author bias is hard for me, but finding any good info on #accessiBe is hard, so I'll take what I can get.
But I agree, this company is a problem, and in general automated access fixers and overlays are a bad idea.

I wonder, which additional user preference media features client hints it might make sense to have:
– Whether the user prefers texts in standard language or controlled natural/simplified/plain/easy language/easy read
– Whether the user prefers to see trigger warnings/content warnings by default (maybe even providing keywords)
– Indicating the attention span/short-term memory (low or average)
– Level of verbosity of text vs navigation/options

Used my Saturday morning rainy cafe run to work on my #WebAIM conference slides. The first time I have brought anything other than a book with me. I must be panicking. At least this time none of the 7am crowd asked me what kind of pedestrian book I was reading (though there was a side conversation about remote gaming and VTTs).
1½ weeks to me rambling about tables:

The votes are in, looks like #biden won this one, sorry #trump
"Both sites are better than average pages found in the #WebAIM Million, but both could improve significantly with a few relatively simple changes that would not require throwing out an entire widget or design. They would just involve tweaks to what’s already there."

For the past 3 hours, I have been learning to use the essentials of #VoiceOver (the built-in #iOS, #iPadOS, and #macOS screen reader) with the help of an article on #WebAIM.
It is really helpful giving an overview and also being a cheat sheet for common commands.
What browser are you using together with VoiceOver? I guess it works best with #Safari, but I am using it with #Firefox for now.
Quite a lot to learn, but already having many aha moments!

As a front-end developer, there are some things that jumped out to me in the recent screen-reader survey. I'll share a couple of them, but keep in mind that I don't typically use a screen reader myself. You can take a look at the results yourself at:
-
#WebAIM: Screen Reader User Survey #10 Results: https://webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey10/ #ScreenReader #Blind #VisuallyImpaired
-
A few words on the results of the #WebAIM Screen Reader #a11y survey, as they have just come out:
The results are likely not very representative of current screen reader usage at all, as the survey targets the same audiences each year. They are completely missing out on #blind people who are not as competent with computers - and to become competent gets harder and harder each year.
Continues as a thread.
-
The tenth #WebAIM Screen Reader User Survey results are out!

Is anybody out there a master at using the Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool WAVE from WebAIM? I'm working on contrast issues on this dev project. It finds SOME low contrast but seems to think the stats buttons for OK and entropy are just dandy when they’re clearly super low contrast.
-
#WebAim #Screenreader survey is open until January 31, 2024. If you're a Screenreader user or know someone who is, ask them if they want to participate.
I always found the results very interesting, especially when it came to headings / heading levels. It helped to make a point why this is so important (and easy to implement and fix).
