Accessibility Rocket

Evidence Center

Evidence, not just accessibility claims.

Accessibility Rocket releases are checked with automated scanners, HTML validation, launch-quality audits, and manual review. We publish what was tested, what passed, and what still depends on implementation.

What this evidence means

Release-output versions are tested directly. Framework component kits are reviewed at component level because final application output depends on routing, styling, content, integrations, and testing.

Release output tested

Used for HTML/CSS/JS, Astro, Eleventy, and SvelteKit static versions. The generated pages are tested directly.

Component patterns reviewed

Used for React, Vue, and Angular component kits. The components are reviewed, but final application output depends on integration and testing.

Automated accessibility

Three accessibility engines (axe-core, IBM Equal Access, and Pa11y's HTML_CodeSniffer) each catch issues the others miss, so we run all three. The Nu HTML Checker validates the markup underneath.

Launch quality

Lighthouse audits accessibility, performance, best practices, and SEO on every release. The accessibility score is a useful signal, not a full WCAG conformance result.

Manual review

Automated scanners cannot verify keyboard flows, screen reader behavior, or editorial quality. These checks run on every release before ship.

Important limitation

Automated checks help catch many issues early, but they do not determine full accessibility on their own. Final accessibility and legal conformance depend on content, implementation, integrations, and testing.

Known limitations

  • Automated tools do not determine full accessibility on their own.
  • Third-party scripts or embedded tools may introduce issues.
  • User edits can break heading order, alt text, contrast, or form clarity.
  • Framework integrations outside the tested release output need separate review.
  • Final accessibility and legal conformance depend on content, implementation, integrations, and testing.
