Core Statistics Display

Violation Statistics

The main statistics view presents a comprehensive table of accessibility violations:

Data Columns

• Issue Name: The descriptive text explaining what accessibility rule was violated
• Severity: Impact level of the violation (Critical, High, Medium, Low)
• Violation: The specific WCAG rule or accessibility standard that was violated
• Total Issues: Count of individual elements affected by this violation across the website
• Pages Affected: Number of different pages where this violation occurs

Resolution Filtering

Switch between Desktop and Mobile resolution data:

• Desktop: Violations found during desktop browser simulation
• Mobile: Violations found during mobile browser simulation
• Independent Data: Each resolution maintains separate violation statistics

Interactive Features

Navigation Integration

• Click-through Details: Click any table row to view specific violation instances
• Context Preservation: Resolution filter is maintained when navigating to violation details
• URL-based Navigation: Direct linking to specific violations with filter state
• Breadcrumb Support: Proper navigation context for returning to statistics

Statistics Analysis

Understanding Violation Data

Severity Assessment

Violations are classified by their impact on accessibility:

Severity	Impact	Description	Action Required
Critical	Blocks access	These issues are severe and likely to block users from accessing or using a significant portion of the website or application	Fix immediately
High	Major barrier	These issues can significantly hinder user experience and may prevent users from completing specific tasks	High priority
Medium	Noticeable issue	These issues can impact the user experience and cause frustration or require additional effort to use the website or application	Medium priority
Low	Minor concerns	These issues don't significantly impact user experience	Low priority

Data-Driven Decision Making

Remediation Planning

Use statistics to guide accessibility improvement efforts:

• High Impact Focus: Prioritize violations affecting many pages
• Severity-based Approach: Address critical violations first
• Resource Allocation: Understand effort required based on violation counts
• Progress Tracking: Monitor improvement as violations are resolved

Website-Specific Insights

Each website maintains independent statistics:

• Comparative Analysis: Compare accessibility across different websites
• Targeted Improvements: Focus on specific website accessibility issues
• Resolution-Specific Issues: Identify mobile vs desktop accessibility gaps
• Trend Monitoring: Track accessibility improvements over time
