Accessibility report for slowtide.com
Based on an automated WCAG 2.1 Level AA scan on June 21, 2026.
slowtide.com does not yet meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA, the accessibility standard written into U.S. and EU law. This automated scan found 3 types of barrier affecting people with disabilities.
On this page, the most frequent barrier is "Some links have no readable text — usually icon-only links" — found on 6 elements. In total the scan flagged 9 issues across 3 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
A button's visible text doesn't match the description it announces to screen readers.
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.
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 content on the page isn't inside a recognized region (header, nav, main, footer, aside).
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'.
