www.cdc.gov: Accessibility — week 2026-W34

Automated Accessibility Conformance Report (OpenACR): Download ACR. Machine-readable; compatible with GSA OpenACR tooling. Automated tools find ~⅓ of real barriers — supplement with manual AT testing.

Training priorities

Top WCAG success criteria by pages affected this week. Use these to focus team training on the highest-impact issues.

SC	Criterion	Pages	Rules
1.4.3	Contrast (Minimum)	852	2
1.1.1	Non-text Content (images, icons)	788	2
3.1.1	Language of Page	777	2
2.5.5	WCAG 2.5.5	732	1
1.4.6	WCAG 1.4.6	616	1

Next 10 actions

Clusters are fingerprinted by normalized selector path + rule id + snippet shape. Rank score = (severity weight × pages affected) / distinct components for the rule. This supersedes the template threshold heuristic while still surfacing it as a validation signal.

Top 10 clustered component fixes for this week.

Bug reports

34 issue type(s) are shown by default out of 76 total. Prioritized by severity, key pages, WCAG level, and prevalence; use the toggle to show everything.

Overall severity mix: 6 critical, 19 serious, 48 moderate, 3 minor. By WCAG category: 34 WCAG 2.0 A, 5 WCAG 2.0 AA, 1 WCAG 2.1 A, 1 WCAG 2.2 AA, 5 WCAG 2.x AAA, 12 Best Practice, 18 Undetermined. Ordered by severity, key-page impact, WCAG level, and prevalence. Following accessibility bug-reporting best practices. Download: Markdown · JSON (full archive) · JSON (AI diagnostic) · CSV (all findings) · Priority pages CSV · Priority pages JSON.

Automated testing does not establish full WCAG conformance. Findings in the verification lane require manual testing before they are treated as confirmed failures.

The 50 highest-priority findings are shown in full; 26 more lower-priority finding(s) are summarised at the end of the page, and every finding is in the CSV/JSON downloads.

6 finding(s) marked "possible duplicate" — Alfa and axe-core both flagged the same WCAG SC on overlapping pages. If they target the same element, the axe-core report is authoritative. Filter the CSV by possible_duplicate_of to see these. Two engines flagging the same barrier reduces the chance of a false positive.

Findings needing review

These findings need manual verification before they can be treated as confirmed failures. Obligation remains visible for each finding.

Description

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) c. Detected by axe-core rule landmark-unique on 814 of 3332 scanned pages (854 instances).

Steps to reproduce

Open https://www.cdc.gov/finance/conference-report/2024-spending-report.html.
Locate the element: .page-right-rail__static
Confirm the axe-core finding for rule landmark-unique.

Impact

Not captured by automated scan — requires manual testing.

Affected pages

…and more — all 814 pages (CSV).

Testing environment

Automated: axe-core, headless Chromium (Playwright). Manual AT verification: Not captured by automated scan — requires manual testing.

Suggested fix

How to fix: When a landmark role/type repeats (e.g. two <nav>s), give each a distinct accessible name with aria-label or aria-labelledby (e.g. "Primary" and "Footer" navigation) so screen-reader users can tell them apart.

Unique accessibility issues (axe + Alfa consolidated)

axe and Alfa both implement W3C ACT rules, so the same issue is often caught by both. These are deduplicated by ACT rule and page, so a shared finding counts once (13151 raw engine findings → 12709 unique).

Unique issues (rule × page): 12709
Caught by both engines: 438 highest confidence
axe only: 8188
Alfa only: 4083

10 rule type(s) caught by both engines — highest confidence

Two independent ACT-rule implementations (Deque axe-core and Siteimprove Alfa) flagged the same issue on the same pages. Agreement between separate engines is strong evidence the barrier is real, not a single-tool false positive — the best place to start.

Rules flagged by both axe-core and Alfa in 2026-W34, by pages affected.
