Results by Category

The By category tab

Select the By category tab on the results page to see results grouped into four categories, each mapped to one of the WCAG principles:

• Visual checks covers the Perceivable principle
• Keyboard & interaction covers the Operable principle
• Content & language covers the Understandable principle
• Page structure covers the Robust principle

Each category shows a segmented progress bar of passed, failed, and remaining checks, its pass rate percentage, and a failed count when any checks have failed. Checks marked not applicable count alongside passes in the pass rate. Categories with no checks in your audit are hidden.

Filtering categories

Use the search box to find a category by name, and the status dropdown to narrow the list:

• All shows every category
• Passed shows categories with no failures and nothing pending
• Failed shows categories with at least one failed check
• In progress shows categories with checks still awaiting a verdict

Spotting patterns

The category view helps you find systemic issues rather than isolated ones. If most failures sit under Keyboard & interaction, your product likely needs focused work on keyboard navigation and interactive controls. If Visual checks dominates, look at contrast, text alternatives, and other visual concerns.

Use these patterns to prioritise remediation and brief the right people. When you are ready to act on specific failures, drill into the check matrix or raise tickets directly. See creating tickets.
