Accessibility report for aboutus.godaddy.net

Accessibility grade: D
Based on an automated WCAG 2.1 Level AA scan on June 14, 2026.

Web accessibility is a legal requirement, not an optional extra. An automated scan of aboutus.godaddy.net found 8 types of barrier, measured against WCAG 2.1 Level AA — the standard U.S. courts apply under the ADA.

On this page, the most frequent barrier is "An accessibility rule failed on this page" — found on 6 elements. In total the scan flagged 22 issues across 8 categories of WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

WCAG 2.1 Level AA is the standard U.S. courts apply under the ADA, and the law across the EU under the European Accessibility Act. These barriers block screen-reader, keyboard-only, and low-vision users — and every one of them is fixable. Here's how.

What we found, and how to fix it

Some buttons have no description that screen readers can announce.

WCAG 4.1.2 (Level A) Section 508EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader users

Why it matters: Visual users see an icon (a heart, a trash can, an X), but screen-reader users hear only 'button' — they don't know if it'll favorite a post, delete it, or close a dialog. This is a critical accessibility blocker and a top lawsuit driver.

How to fix it: Every button needs a text label. If you can't put text inside the button (icon-only design), in your platform's button settings look for an 'Aria label' or 'Screen reader text' field — fill it with what the button does ('Close', 'Add to cart', 'Open menu').

WCAG 1.4.3 (Level AA) EN 301 549 Affects low-vision and colorblind users

Why it matters: People with low vision, older eyes, or anyone reading on a sunny phone screen can't make out faint text. Color blindness affects about 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women. Insufficient contrast is the #1 most-common cause of accessibility lawsuits — every Domino's-style ADA suit cites it.

How to fix it: If you use a website builder (Squarespace, Wix, Shopify, WordPress with a theme), open your site styles or theme color settings and pick darker text colors or lighter backgrounds. Aim for very dark text on white, or very light text on dark. Free check at webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker. If you have a developer, ask them to ensure all text meets WCAG AA contrast (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text).

Heading levels skip — for example, an H2 jumps directly to an H4 with no H3 between them.

heading-order · moderate · 2 instances

Affects screen-reader users

Why it matters: Screen-reader users navigate by heading levels. Skipped levels suggest missing content and break the page's outline. Confusing for everyone.

How to fix it: In your editor, find the headings that skip levels and either bump them up to the right level (H4 → H3 if no H2 exists between) or insert the missing level. Headings should follow a logical outline like a document outline.

This is an automated scan and catches a portion of accessibility barriers; full WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance also requires manual and assistive-technology testing. See our methodology for what we do and don't claim.
