Accessibility Research & Reports

We took the accessibility-tree view a browser-use agent receives of FTSE 100 and UK council home pages and counted the controls it cannot name, the images without alt text and the unlabelled fields. Per-site results and method published.

Our statement checker run over every UK local authority and the FTSE 100: who publishes a statement, how many carry every mandatory element, and which elements are most often missing.

Every figure that gets asked for, on one page: disability prevalence, WebAIM Million failure rates, screen reader use, lawsuit counts, public sector monitoring, audit prices and salaries. Each number dated, sourced and written to stand on its own.

axe-core, Lighthouse, HTML_CodeSniffer and IBM Equal Access run against one page seeded with thirty known WCAG defects. Which tool finds what, which defects nobody finds, and what a Lighthouse score of 49 means.

A source-linked synthesis of large-scale third-party web accessibility datasets. Explore reported failure rates, recurring barriers, and year-over-year trends with clear attribution.

28.7% of US adults report a disability, about 73.4 million people. Prevalence by type plus the 2016 to 2022 trend, straight from the CDC data API. Cognitive disability is now the largest category and the fastest growing, which is not where most accessibility effort goes.

58% of US federal agencies scored Low or Very Low on whether their technology is actually accessible, and 62% scored that low on testing. Every one of the 60 agencies ranked, computed from the government's own published response data.

What accessibility professionals earn by country, experience, work location, and organisation size. The dividing line is ten years of experience, worth a 36% premium. 60.7% of respondents report having a disability themselves.

Every EAA date quoted from Directive (EU) 2019/882 itself, plus transposition measures for all 27 Member States. Includes the answer nobody else gives straight: there is no EU-wide enforcement data, and the first Commission report is not due until 2030.

Which CMS, JavaScript framework, and platform ships the fewest accessibility errors? WordPress, Drupal, React, Vue, Shopify, Bootstrap and 40 more, ranked against the million-page average. The finding that matters: almost every popular widget library correlates with more errors, not fewer.

Government, non-profit and education lead; shopping and sport trail by roughly 29 errors per page. Average detected errors across 29 sectors and 17 languages, with the sectors that have been legally obliged the longest sitting at the top of the table.
