What Image Load Lab does for keyboard, screen-reader and mobile users, how we check it, and the known gaps.
Image Load Lab should be usable with a keyboard, a screen reader, browser zoom and small screens. This page lists what the site does today, what we check, and the known gaps.
What is in place
- A “Skip to content” link and semantic landmarks (header, navigation, main, footer) on every page.
- Visible focus outlines and labelled form controls in the contact form and both browser tools.
- Text alternatives for every image in the guides. Charts also have their key numbers written in the surrounding text and in a data table, so nothing is available only as a picture.
- Every result image has
widthandheightattributes, so the layout does not jump while it loads. - Data tables use header cells, and wide tables scroll inside their own container on narrow screens instead of widening the page.
- Animations respect the operating system’s “reduce motion” setting.
How we check it
Pages are checked with Lighthouse’s accessibility audit and at a 375-pixel-wide mobile viewport for horizontal overflow and text size. Before publishing, charts are checked to make sure the same numbers appear in text or tables. These are automated and manual spot checks, not a formal WCAG conformance audit.
Known limitations
- Some comparison images show fine compression artefacts that are, by nature, visual. The text next to each comparison describes what changes and where.
- Drag-and-drop in the image optimizer is optional; the standard file picker works with a keyboard.
- Downloaded CSV files are plain data without descriptive formatting.
