Accessibility report for kay.com

Accessibility grade: D
Based on an automated WCAG 2.1 Level AA scan on June 13, 2026.

kay.com does not yet meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA, the accessibility standard written into U.S. and EU law. This automated scan found 8 types of barrier affecting people with disabilities.

On this page, the most frequent barrier is "An accessibility rule failed on this page" — found on 4 elements. In total the scan flagged 13 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 needs fixing to meet the standard

Some form fields have no label that screen readers can announce.

label · critical · 1 instance

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

Why it matters: Visually you can see what each field is for (next to a 'Name:' or 'Email:' text), but screen-reader users hear only 'edit text' if there's no programmatic label connecting the text to the field. The result: blind users can't tell what to type where.

How to fix it: In a website builder, every form field has a 'Label' field or similar. Make sure every input has one filled in. Placeholder text (the gray hint inside the field) does NOT count as a label — it has to be a real label.

Some links have no readable text — usually icon-only links.

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').

An element marked as an image is missing its description.

role-img-alt · serious · 1 instance

WCAG 1.1.1 (Level A) Section 508EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader users

Why it matters: Same as missing image alt — screen-reader users get nothing where they should hear a description.

How to fix it: Ask your developer: 'elements with role=img need aria-label or aria-labelledby'.

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.

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'.

A heading on this page has no text.

empty-heading · minor · 1 instance

Affects screen-reader users

Why it matters: Screen-reader users navigate pages by jumping between headings. An empty heading is dead air — they don't know what the section is about.

How to fix it: Find the empty heading in your editor (often a section title that was deleted but the heading element remained) and either delete it or add real heading text.

Some images have alt text that duplicates nearby visible text.

image-redundant-alt · minor · 2 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).

An accessibility rule failed on this page.

meta-viewport-large · minor · 4 instances

Affects low-vision and colorblind users

Why it matters: Some users — particularly those using screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, or who have low vision or motor disabilities — may have trouble using this part of the page.

How to fix it: Share the technical rule ID with your developer. They can look up the full fix at https://dequeuniversity.com/rules/axe.

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.
