🎯 Pages with Most Errors

Focus your efforts on these pages to make the biggest impact. Click any error count to filter the rule list below. Total counts unique findings across the active scanners, and numbers in parentheses (+N) still show findings that cover WCAG criteria already reported by axe.

🧭 Reflow Risk (WCAG 1.4.10)

Page-level indicator: resizes to 320 CSS pixels wide and checks for horizontal overflow. This is a risk indicator, not a conformance verdict — see Behavioral Accessibility Automation for what it can and cannot detect.

✅ No horizontal overflow detected at 320px width on any scanned page!
