go.walsall.gov.uk: technology ↔ issues

Accessibility findings that are more common on pages running a technology than on pages without it, across the 103 page(s) in 2026-W45 where both technology detection and an accessibility engine ran. Each finding is compared across the pages its own engine checked, since axe and Alfa can run on different samples.

Times as common compares the two groups: the share of pages with the technology that have the finding, divided by the share of pages without it that have it. 1× means no difference; 2× means twice as common. “Only with it” means no page without the technology had the finding. A finding is listed when it is at least 1.5 times as common and is on at least 5 pages with the technology, and only technologies with at least 5 pages each way are compared.

Not compared, because they run on nearly every page and leave fewer than 5 pages without them: Bootstrap, Drupal, Fastly, Google Ads, Google Ads Conversion Tracking, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, HSTS, Hotjar, MariaDB, Microsoft Advertising, Nginx, PHP, Pantheon, Varnish, jQuery.

This is an association, not proof of cause. Technologies detected on the same pages (e.g. a CMS, its host, and its language) show the same numbers, and the listing cannot tell which one in such a stack is responsible. Treat strong pairs as leads for a human to confirm — a barrier that recurs with the same technology, especially across multiple sites, is likely a bug in that technology rather than in any one page's content.

Each finding links to its full report on the Accessibility page: the pages it is on, the failing elements and how to fix them.
