Testing & Evaluation
Last scan date
25 Feb 2026
Automated test scope
AccessibilityChecker.org covers approximately 58% of WCAG 2.2 AA criteria through automation. The remaining items require human judgment and are addressed through the manual testing module.
Manual audit
Completed.
A thorough manual accessibility audit was performed covering all criteria that require human judgment.
Accessibility is evaluated through a combination of automated and manual processes provided by the AccessibilityChecker.org testing platform:
- Weekly automated scans identify all critical, machine-detectable issues across pages using WCAG logic
- A thorough manual audit was conducted, covering all WCAG criteria that require human judgment
- Ongoing issue tracking automatically detects regressions and recognizes resolved items between scans
Together, these two layers of testing — automated + manual — are designed to fully cover all WCAG 2.2 Level AA success criteria.
