Accessibility report for peltzshoes.com

Accessibility grade: D
Based on an automated WCAG 2.1 Level AA scan on June 9, 2026.

peltzshoes.com does not yet meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA, the accessibility standard written into U.S. and EU law. This automated scan found 9 types of barrier affecting people with disabilities.

On this page, the most frequent barrier is "An accessibility rule failed on this page" — found on 7 elements. In total the scan flagged 24 issues across 9 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

WCAG 4.1.2 (Level A) EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader 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.

Some text on this page is too light to read against its background.

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).

A button's visible text doesn't match the description it announces to screen readers.

label-content-name-mismatch · serious · 1 instance

WCAG 2.5.3 (Level A) EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader users

Why it matters: A user dictating 'click Submit' to voice-control software may see 'Submit' on screen but the announce-name is something else, so the voice command fails.

How to fix it: Developer fix: 'aria-label should start with or fully contain the visible button text'.

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').

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

heading-order · moderate · 3 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.

Affects screen-reader 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.

Technical details for your developer →

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

region · moderate · 3 instances

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 · 2 instances

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 · 3 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).
