Axe-core ACT Implementation

Implemented Rules

About Axe-core Results

ACT Rules are tested using a canary version of axe-core, which can be accessed by installing axe-core@next from NPM. For these results, all rules including “experimental” rules are enabled. Checks with “unsupported” in its ID are disabled, which deal with issues of accessibility support issues which ACT Rules do not account for, often by design.

Results in this page are taken from a public test report published by Deque Systems. Data is published using the EARL+JSON-LD data format.
