## 📝 Duplicate Page Titles

Pages should have a descriptive, unique `<title>` so users can tell them apart in browser tabs, history, and bookmarks ([WCAG 2.4.2](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/page-titled.html)).

- **"Open Scans - Free Automated Accessibility Scanning"** — 2 pages:
  - https://mgifford.github.io/open-scans/
  - https://mgifford.github.io/open-scans/index.html

## 🎯 Pages with Most Errors

Focus your efforts on these pages to make the biggest impact. Scanner columns show raw failures; the Total column remains unique across the active scanners.

| Page | axe Errors | Total Unique | Page Title |
|---|---:|---:|---|
| [View Page](https://mgifford.github.io/open-scans/trends.html) | 2 | **2** | Accessibility Trends – Open Scans |

## 🧭 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](https://github.com/mgifford/ACCESSIBILITY.md/blob/main/examples/BEHAVIORAL_ACCESSIBILITY_AUTOMATION.md) for what it can and cannot detect.

## 🏷️ Semantic HTML & ARIA (Semantica11y)

Checks for non-semantic HTML and ARIA usage with suggestions for semantic improvements. These are suggestions, not WCAG conformance failures — see [semantica11y](https://npm.im/semantica11y) for the rule set.
