All 58 atomic check outcomes

Principle / checkStatusConfidenceEvidence or reason
respect-user-preferences
respects-color-scheme
issueshighThe dark-preference screenshots are pixel-identical in palette to the light screenshots; the probe reports color-scheme normal and no prefers-color-scheme CSS.
F001 high: The site stays light when the user requests dark mode.
respect-user-preferences
respects-reduced-motion
passhighReduced-motion emulation reported zero active animations and no auto-advancing motion in the observed first viewport.
respect-user-preferences
respects-contrast
passhighForced-colors/high-contrast screenshot retains visible text, separators, controls and the primary headline.
implement-natural-interactions
view-transitions
issueshighRendered CSS inspection found no view-transition rules, while navigation is a core interaction across the MPA.
F002 medium: Route and menu state changes do not use View Transitions.
implement-natural-interactions
scroll-driven-animations
not-applicablehighNo scroll-linked decorative motion was observed, so there is no scroll-event animation implementation to judge.
implement-natural-interactions
physical-gestures
issueshighThe mobile probe found an initialized Swiper with a transformed wrapper, but no scroll-snap CSS.
F003 medium: The horizontal game carousel is script-driven without platform scroll snapping.
provide-guided-navigation
scroll-state-aware-chrome
issueshighCSS inspection found no scroll-state container query or scroll progress implementation across a 15,712px homepage.
F004 medium: The long news page has no scroll-state-aware navigation or progress cue.
provide-guided-navigation
anchored-positioning
not-applicablehighNo tooltip or viewport-edge popover is part of the representative reading and listing flows.
provide-guided-navigation
directs-attention
passhighCurrent section labels, strong hierarchy and prominent article headlines make location and next destinations clear across section and article templates.
maximize-content-reduce-noise
no-intrusive-interruptions
issueshighDesktop and mobile screenshots show a fixed subscription banner covering the lower 175px, about 22% of the mobile viewport, immediately on load.
F005 high: A fixed subscription promotion obscures primary content on the homepage.
maximize-content-reduce-noise
semantic-dismissible-primitives
issueshighThe DOM probe identifies ASIDE#banda_suscripcion as a fixed 360x175 overlay; no dialog or popover primitive is used.
F006 medium: The subscription interruption is an ad-hoc fixed aside rather than a semantic overlay.
maximize-content-reduce-noise
reduced-chrome
passhighOutside the subscription interruption, article and section templates use restrained borders and keep headlines/content visually dominant.
adapt-to-the-form-factor
responsive-no-horizontal-scroll
issueshighLayout evidence on both homepage and article reports scrollWidth 720px at innerWidth 360px, with 360px horizontal overflow.
F007 high: Mobile layouts create a document twice the viewport width.
adapt-to-the-form-factor
component-level-responsiveness
issueshighRendered CSS inspection found no @container or container-type despite card components being reused across homepage, section, and sidebars.
F008 medium: Repeated cards and navigation rely on viewport rules, not component containment.
adapt-to-the-form-factor
input-modality-aware
issueshighLighthouse target-size failed; the focus probe also measured many topical links at only 11px high.
F009 medium: Several mobile controls are too small or tightly spaced.
support-core-task-success
clear-purpose-and-primary-action
passhighHomepage, section and latest pages immediately identify themselves and expose current headlines as direct links.
support-core-task-success
primary-flow-completion
passhighThe homepage-to-article journey loaded a full headline, dek, image and server-rendered article content without an account wall.
support-core-task-success
clear-system-state-and-recovery
passhighThe tested missing sitemap URL returns HTTP 404 with an explicit Spanish page-not-found template rather than a blank or false-success page.
be-fast-and-stable
good-core-web-vitals
issueshighLighthouse measured LCP 28.6s, FCP 10.7s, TBT 1,120ms and a 0.32 performance score; the CDP trace corroborated a 563ms longest task and 549ms TBT.
F010 critical: The primary landing page is very slow and main-thread heavy.
be-fast-and-stable
visual-stability
issueshighThe mobile layout observer recorded CLS 2.001 with two late shifts of 1.0 around 6.5s, coinciding with late fixed/personalization UI.
F011 high: Late homepage UI causes severe observed layout movement.
be-fast-and-stable
efficient-main-thread
issueshighLighthouse measured LCP 28.6s, FCP 10.7s, TBT 1,120ms and a 0.32 performance score; the CDP trace corroborated a 563ms longest task and 549ms TBT.

be-fast-and-stable
trim-unused-and-duplicate-code
issueshighLighthouse estimated 1,480KiB of unused JavaScript and 35KiB unused CSS; third-party scripts dominate the largest transfer list.
F013 high: Large amounts of JavaScript are unused during the initial news-reading task.
be-inclusive
names-roles-labels
issueshighLighthouse failed frame-title; the article probe found multiple untitled advertising/paywall iframes, and the images primitive counted 33 images without alt attributes.
F014 high: Embedded frames and many images lack accessible text alternatives.
be-inclusive
sufficient-contrast
passhighLighthouse accessibility scored 0.94 with no color-contrast failure, and forced-colors preserved readable text.

issueshighLighthouse reported three deprecation warnings, two BFCache failure reasons, and DevTools inspector issues.
F017 medium: Deprecated APIs and platform lifecycle blockers remain.
be-discoverable
title-and-description
passhighHomepage and article expose descriptive titles and meta descriptions, with article-specific values.
be-discoverable
crawlable-and-mobile-friendly
issueshighLighthouse failed crawlable-anchors; the article probe counted 45 href="#" anchors.
F018 medium: Some visible actions are exposed as hash links rather than crawlable destinations.
be-discoverable

F020 high: Core security headers are absent and cookies are broadly insecure.
be-private-and-secure
data-minimisation-and-third-parties
issueshighThe tracker audit found 64 third-party origins and 14 known tracker hosts. HAR classified 255 of 264 requests and 4.61MB of 4.71MB as third-party.
F021 critical: Tracking and advertising dominate the initial page load.
be-private-and-secure
in-context-permissions-and-modern-auth
issueshighNo passkey, WebAuthn, or navigator.credentials marker appeared in the server HTML, although sign-in is a prominent account action; no permission prompt fired on load.

be-private-and-secure
defensive-browser-policies
issueshighThe headers primitive found no CSP, HSTS, nosniff, clickjacking protection, or Permissions-Policy and found Referrer-Policy unsafe-url. All 44 observed cookies were flagged insecure by the cookie audit.

be-resilient
resilient-runtime-behaviour
passhighRepresentative mobile and desktop pages render usable navigation and content without clipped primary controls or broken shells.
be-resilient
offline-and-installable
not-applicablehighThis public news publication is content-first rather than an installed application; offline installability is not required for the audited core reading journey.
be-resilient
network-and-http-failure-states
passhighThe representative HTTP 404 response is intentional, descriptive and does not masquerade as a success state.
be-internationalised
lang-dir-and-logical-properties
passhighThe root language is correctly es and visible content uses Spanish reading order; no bidirectional content appears in scope.
be-internationalised
locale-aware-data
passhighDates are rendered in Spanish long-date form, for example “Domingo, 26 de julio de 2026”.
be-internationalised
time-zone-correctness
not-applicablehighThe audited news reading and listing paths contain publication dates but no scheduled cross-time-zone event or recurring-time flow.
be-trustworthy
no-dark-patterns
passhighNavigation labels and article links are descriptive, and no confirmshaming control or disguised ad action was observed in the representative paths.
be-trustworthy
humane-error-handling
not-applicablehighNo authored data-entry form or invalid-submission flow appeared in the representative news reading paths.
be-trustworthy
trustworthy-input-assistance
not-applicablehighNo authored sign-up, address, payment, or account input was exposed in the audited paths; account UI is externally mediated.
be-trustworthy
safe-commercial-and-account-flows
issueshighThe fixed offer says 0.50 euros per month and more than 90% discount, but the visible viewport does not state the renewal price or commitment.
F023 medium: The subscription teaser does not disclose the price after the introductory month in context.
be-sustainable
optimised-assets
issueshighThe images audit found 36 images without srcset, 44 legacy-format image URLs, no modern-format img sources, and eight below-fold images not lazy-loaded.
F024 high: Image delivery is not consistently responsive or modern.
be-sustainable
no-wasteful-work
issueshighThird parties account for 4.61MB and 255 requests, including many advertising, experimentation, social and analytics SDKs before interaction.

be-sustainable
third-party-and-media-budget
issueshighThird parties account for 4.61MB and 255 requests, including many advertising, experimentation, social and analytics SDKs before interaction.
F025 high: Third-party resource use is disproportionate to initial article discovery.
be-agent-ready
structured-agent-capabilities
not-applicablehighThe publication exposes machine-readable articles but no transactional capability that would justify WebMCP tools in this audit.
be-agent-ready
on-device-inference
not-applicablehighOn-device summarization is an emerging optional enhancement, not required for the publication’s core reading task.
be-memory-efficient
no-leak-under-repeated-interaction
issuesmediumWithin one session, ten open/close cycles increased DOM elements from 2,824 to 2,854 and used JS heap from 70.7MB to 82.5MB. Separate heap snapshots grew from 69.1MB to 72.3MB self size.
F026 medium: Repeated menu toggling leaves measurable growth after the interaction ends.

F027 medium: The baseline memory footprint is heavy for a mobile news landing page.
be-memory-efficient
no-detached-dom-or-unbounded-listeners
issuesmediumWithin one session, ten open/close cycles increased DOM elements from 2,824 to 2,854 and used JS heap from 70.7MB to 82.5MB. Separate heap snapshots grew from 69.1MB to 72.3MB self size.
