Accessibility report for goodearth.com

Accessibility grade: C
Based on an automated WCAG 2.1 Level AA scan on October 12, 2026.

Web accessibility is a legal requirement, not an optional extra. An automated scan of goodearth.com found 5 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 "Some images have alt text that duplicates nearby visible text" — found on 4 elements. In total the scan flagged 8 issues across 5 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 links have no readable text — usually icon-only links.

link-name · serious · 1 instance

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

Why it matters: Screen-reader users hear 'link' but not where the link goes. Users navigate by listening to a list of links — useless if every entry is just 'link, link, link'.

How to fix it: In your site editor, for icon-only links (social-media icons, navigation arrows), set an 'Aria label' or 'Title' field describing where it goes ('Follow us on Twitter', 'Next page').

Some elements have positive tabindex values, forcing a custom focus order.

tabindex · serious · 1 instance

Affects keyboard-only users

Why it matters: Custom focus orders are nearly always confusing — focus jumps around unexpectedly. Best practice is to never use positive tabindex.

How to fix it: Developer fix: 'replace tabindex=1/2/3... with tabindex=0 (or remove entirely); use DOM order to control focus order'.

There are multiple top banners (headers) on the page when there should be one.

landmark-no-duplicate-banner · moderate · 1 instance

Affects screen-reader users

Why it matters: Screen-reader users get confused by duplicate landmarks — they don't know which is the 'real' header.

How to fix it: Developer fix: 'only one element should have role=banner or be a top-level <header>; remove duplicates'.

Technical details for your developer →

Some content on the page isn't inside a recognized region (header, nav, main, footer, aside).

region · moderate · 1 instance

Affects keyboard-only users

Why it matters: Screen-reader users navigate by these regions. Content outside any region can be missed when skimming.

How to fix it: Developer fix: 'wrap orphaned page content in semantic landmark elements (<main>, <aside>, <nav>) so it's reachable via landmark nav'.

Some images have alt text that duplicates nearby visible text.

image-redundant-alt · minor · 4 instances

Affects screen-reader users

Why it matters: Screen-reader users hear the same content twice — the surrounding text and then the alt text. Annoying, not blocking. Lower-priority fix.

How to fix it: Find images where the caption or nearby paragraph already says what the image shows, and either change the alt text to add new info or set the alt to empty (so the screen reader skips it as decorative).

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.
