NZ Govt Website Accessibility Loserboard
A ranking of NZ Government websites with the most accessibility failures.
Loserboards
The Website Accessibility Loserboard
Background information
The New Zealand Government automatically scans all its public-facing websites for accessibility issues using the Centralised Web Accessibility Checker (CWAC) monitoring programme. I have created the following loserboard from this data. Data will be updated quarterly.
CWAC (Centralised Web Accessibility Checker) automatically scans government websites using axe-core. It doesn’t catch all accessibility issues (maybe 10-20%), so zero issues doesn’t mean a site is fully accessible. Conversely, it also means the reality is probably 10x worse than this report shows.
Rankings are based on average issues per page, making it fair for both small and large websites. Websites are tested in both mobile and desktop versions; the number of issues detected between both sizes is averaged to calculate the final issue counts for the Loserboard.
Tips:
- Share filtered results — search for something, then copy the URL from your address bar and send it to your manager to scare them into caring about disabled people
