All 58 atomic check outcomes

Principle / checkStatusConfidenceEvidence or reason
respect-user-preferences
respects-color-scheme
issueshighThe dark-emulated screenshot is pixel-identical in appearance to the light capture and the DOM probe reports colorScheme "normal".
F02 medium: The site ignores the user’s dark color-scheme preference.
respect-user-preferences
respects-reduced-motion
passhighThe media query matched and no active animations were present during the sampled load.
respect-user-preferences
respects-contrast
issueshigh57 rendered nodes failed minimum contrast; forced/high contrast resilience is therefore not established.
F06 high: Important deal and product text fails WCAG contrast.
implement-natural-interactions
view-transitions
issueshighThe platform probe found no view-transition CSS in the rendered document and navigation in sampled pages is a full abrupt swap.
F17 low: Route/state changes do not expose modern transition support.
implement-natural-interactions
scroll-driven-animations
not-applicablemediumNo parallax, scrollytelling, or scroll-linked reveal was present on the sampled templates, so there is no scroll-linked motion to implement declaratively.
implement-natural-interactions
physical-gestures
passmediumCore browsing uses native scrolling and ordinary links/buttons; no custom gesture that fights platform behavior was observed.
provide-guided-navigation
scroll-state-aware-chrome
passmediumPersistent header/navigation and section headings maintain orientation; no harmful JS scroll-toggle behavior was observed.
provide-guided-navigation
anchored-positioning
not-applicablemediumNo tooltip or edge-positioned anchored menu was exercised on the covered paths; consent UI is judged under semantic/interruption checks.
provide-guided-navigation
directs-attention
passmediumSection headings, selected search query, product title, price, and primary purchase actions provide clear location and attention cues.
maximize-content-reduce-noise
no-intrusive-interruptions
issueshighDesktop and product screenshots show a notification opt-in over the header while a 220px cookie panel covers the lower viewport before interaction.
F01 high: Two simultaneous consent and notification interruptions obscure the storefront on arrival.
maximize-content-reduce-noise
semantic-dismissible-primitives
issueshighThe notification prompt and cookie sheet are custom DIV-based surfaces; the DOM reports a role=dialog DIV rather than native dialog/popover semantics.
F01 high: Two simultaneous consent and notification interruptions obscure the storefront on arrival.
maximize-content-reduce-noise
reduced-chrome
issueshighSimultaneous overlays consume much of the viewport and obscure core marketplace content.
F01 high: Two simultaneous consent and notification interruptions obscure the storefront on arrival.
adapt-to-the-form-factor
responsive-no-horizontal-scroll
issueshighLayout evidence reports scrollWidth 1280, visual viewport 360, and 920px horizontal overflow; the mobile screenshot shows content clipped far to the right.
F03 critical: The homepage serves a desktop-width layout on a 360px mobile viewport.
adapt-to-the-form-factor
component-level-responsiveness
issueshighNo container-query usage was found and the supposedly mobile layout retains a 1280px content width.
F03 critical: The homepage serves a desktop-width layout on a 360px mobile viewport.
adapt-to-the-form-factor
input-modality-aware
issueshighThe active input computed style is outline none 0px and box-shadow none.
F04 high: Keyboard focus is not visibly indicated on the first focusable search control.
support-core-task-success
clear-purpose-and-primary-action
passhighMarketplace purpose, populated search query, product title/price and Buy now/Add to cart actions are explicit.
support-core-task-success
primary-flow-completion
issueshighThe product screenshot shows Buy now/Add to cart content behind a cookie panel, with a second notification prompt over product navigation.
F16 medium: Consent UI blocks product evaluation and purchase actions at the first step.
support-core-task-success
clear-system-state-and-recovery
passmediumThe server returns a designed HTML 404 page rather than a blank shell; purchase recovery states were outside unauthenticated coverage.
be-fast-and-stable
good-core-web-vitals
issueshighLighthouse measured LCP 18.5s and CLS 0.238; the trace measured 826ms TBT with an 856ms task.

F08 critical: The measured load misses key performance and stability thresholds.
be-fast-and-stable
efficient-resource-delivery

F06 high: Important deal and product text fails WCAG contrast.
be-inclusive
structure-and-focus
issueshighLighthouse reports skipped heading levels; the page begins with two H2 skip/shortcut headings and no visible H1 in the recon, while the focus probe shows no indicator.
F07 medium: Heading hierarchy and focus presentation do not provide a dependable keyboard/AT structure.
be-inclusive
legible-text
issueshighSmall secondary product/deal text includes many low-contrast combinations, reducing reading comfort.
F06 high: Important deal and product text fails WCAG contrast.
be-inclusive
zoom-reflow-targets-and-media
issueshighViewport metadata allows scaling, but the page expands to 1280px and overflows by 920px at 360px.
F03 critical: The homepage serves a desktop-width layout on a 360px mobile viewport.
follow-best-practices
no-console-errors
issueshighLighthouse reports browser errors logged to the console.
F08 critical: The measured load misses key performance and stability thresholds.
follow-best-practices

F14 medium: Image delivery wastes bandwidth and omits stability metadata.
follow-best-practices
browser-platform-hygiene
issueshighDeprecated APIs, inspector issues and a BFCache prevention reason were reported.
F09 high: The homepage ships a large script-heavy request graph before the user acts.
be-discoverable
title-and-description
issueshighHomepage title/description pass, but the representative product page has an empty meta description.
F12 medium: Sitemap and crawler visibility signals are incomplete for a public marketplace.
be-discoverable
crawlable-and-mobile-friendly
issueshighReal links and viewport meta exist, but robots blocks major wholesale/search patterns and the narrow layout is not mobile-friendly.
F12 medium: Sitemap and crawler visibility signals are incomplete for a public marketplace.
be-discoverable
canonical-and-indexing-signals
issueshighThe discoverability capture found only 27% rendered-word coverage in raw HTML; /sitemap.xml returned an HTML 404 page rather than XML, while robots broadly disallows wholesale/search paths.
F12 medium: Sitemap and crawler visibility signals are incomplete for a public marketplace.
be-discoverable

secure-transport-and-headers
issueshighHeaders evidence reports no CSP, HSTS, nosniff, frame protection, Referrer-Policy, or Permissions-Policy; cookie aep_usuc_f is not Secure.
F10 high: The main document lacks baseline security headers and sets a non-Secure cookie.

issueshighTracker capture saw 20 third-party origins and Google ad tracking; HAR classified 227/231 requests and 3.12MB as cross-origin, while consent still covered the page.
F11 high: The first load has a broad third-party and tracking footprint before consent.
be-private-and-secure
in-context-permissions-and-modern-auth
issueshighA notification opt-in is promoted immediately on load, before user context; modern auth could not be verified from the public flow.
F15 medium: The notification prompt privileges acceptance and competes with cookie consent immediately on load.
be-private-and-secure
defensive-browser-policies
issueshighCSP/frame protection, HSTS, Referrer-Policy and Permissions-Policy are absent.
F10 high: The main document lacks baseline security headers and sets a non-Secure cookie.

F03 critical: The homepage serves a desktop-width layout on a 360px mobile viewport.
be-resilient
offline-and-installable
issuesmediumThis app-like marketplace exposes no manifest and had no controlling service worker, so no install/offline fallback was evident.
F13 high: Most dynamic commerce content is unavailable without JavaScript.
be-resilient

passhighThe document declares lang=en and exposes 18 hreflang alternatives, including Arabic and Hebrew variants.
be-internationalised
locale-aware-data
passmediumThe sampled UK-context product renders GBP pricing and the page links to locale-specific country/language variants.

time-zone-correctness
not-applicablehighNo event times, schedules, recurring intervals, or user-visible time-zone-sensitive data appear in the covered commerce paths.
be-trustworthy

F15 medium: The notification prompt privileges acceptance and competes with cookie consent immediately on load.
be-trustworthy
humane-error-handling
not-applicablemediumNo editable form with validation was available in the covered unauthenticated templates; search was already populated and checkout requires a separate account/payment journey.
be-trustworthy
trustworthy-input-assistance
issueshighSearch explicitly sets autocomplete=off and another text input has neither name, accessible label nor autocomplete token.
F16 medium: Consent UI blocks product evaluation and purchase actions at the first step.
be-trustworthy
safe-commercial-and-account-flows
issueshighPrice and Buy now are visible, but stacked consent/notification surfaces obstruct the commercial flow before selection or purchase.
F16 medium: Consent UI blocks product evaluation and purchase actions at the first step.

structured-agent-capabilities
issueshighThe probe found JSON-LD but no WebMCP registration; non-JS content coverage was only 27%, leaving agents to scrape dynamic UI.
F18 low: The commerce site exposes metadata but no structured agent action surface.
