All 58 atomic check outcomes
| Principle / check | Status | Confidence | Evidence or reason |
|---|---|---|---|
respect-user-preferencesrespects-color-scheme | issues | high | The 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-preferencesrespects-reduced-motion | pass | high | The media query matched and no active animations were present during the sampled load. |
respect-user-preferencesrespects-contrast | issues | high | 57 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-interactionsview-transitions | issues | high | The 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-interactionsscroll-driven-animations | not-applicable | medium | No parallax, scrollytelling, or scroll-linked reveal was present on the sampled templates, so there is no scroll-linked motion to implement declaratively. |
implement-natural-interactionsphysical-gestures | pass | medium | Core browsing uses native scrolling and ordinary links/buttons; no custom gesture that fights platform behavior was observed. |
provide-guided-navigationscroll-state-aware-chrome | pass | medium | Persistent header/navigation and section headings maintain orientation; no harmful JS scroll-toggle behavior was observed. |
provide-guided-navigationanchored-positioning | not-applicable | medium | No tooltip or edge-positioned anchored menu was exercised on the covered paths; consent UI is judged under semantic/interruption checks. |
provide-guided-navigationdirects-attention | pass | medium | Section headings, selected search query, product title, price, and primary purchase actions provide clear location and attention cues. |
maximize-content-reduce-noiseno-intrusive-interruptions | issues | high | Desktop 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-noisesemantic-dismissible-primitives | issues | high | The 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-noisereduced-chrome | issues | high | Simultaneous 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-factorresponsive-no-horizontal-scroll | issues | high | Layout 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-factorcomponent-level-responsiveness | issues | high | No 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-factorinput-modality-aware | issues | high | The 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-successclear-purpose-and-primary-action | pass | high | Marketplace purpose, populated search query, product title/price and Buy now/Add to cart actions are explicit. |
support-core-task-successprimary-flow-completion | issues | high | The 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-successclear-system-state-and-recovery | pass | medium | The server returns a designed HTML 404 page rather than a blank shell; purchase recovery states were outside unauthenticated coverage. |
be-fast-and-stablegood-core-web-vitals | issues | high | Lighthouse 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-stablevisual-stability | issues | high | CLS was 0.238 and 50/100 sampled images lacked dimensions. F08 critical: The measured load misses key performance and stability thresholds. |
be-fast-and-stableefficient-main-thread | issues | high | Four long tasks included an 856ms task and 826ms total blocking time. F08 critical: The measured load misses key performance and stability thresholds. |
be-fast-and-stableefficient-resource-delivery | issues | high | 231 requests transferred 3.19MB; parser-initiated styles/scripts and slow dependency chains precede content. F09 high: The homepage ships a large script-heavy request graph before the user acts. |
be-fast-and-stabletrim-unused-and-duplicate-code | issues | high | HAR recorded 231 requests and 3.19MB transferred, including 62 scripts / 1.83MB; the trace found four long tasks. F09 high: The homepage ships a large script-heavy request graph before the user acts. |
be-inclusivenames-roles-labels | issues | high | Lighthouse accessibility reports unnamed links and an image without alt; the image inventory found 51 images without alt among the sampled 100. F05 high: Rendered controls and images lack accessible names or alternatives. |
be-inclusivesufficient-contrast | issues | high | Lighthouse found 57 failing nodes, including #ff7b00 on #fdf8f4 at 2.46:1 and #999 on white at 2.84:1. F06 high: Important deal and product text fails WCAG contrast. |
be-inclusivestructure-and-focus | issues | high | Lighthouse 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-inclusivelegible-text | issues | high | Small secondary product/deal text includes many low-contrast combinations, reducing reading comfort. F06 high: Important deal and product text fails WCAG contrast. |
be-inclusivezoom-reflow-targets-and-media | issues | high | Viewport 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-practicesno-console-errors | issues | high | Lighthouse reports browser errors logged to the console. F08 critical: The measured load misses key performance and stability thresholds. |
follow-best-practicessound-document-and-assets | issues | high | Doctype/UTF-8 pass, but Lighthouse reports incorrect image aspect ratios and the inventory finds widespread missing dimensions. F14 medium: Image delivery wastes bandwidth and omits stability metadata. |
follow-best-practicesbrowser-platform-hygiene | issues | high | Deprecated 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-discoverabletitle-and-description | issues | high | Homepage 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-discoverablecrawlable-and-mobile-friendly | issues | high | Real 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-discoverablecanonical-and-indexing-signals | issues | high | The 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-discoverablestructured-and-shareable-metadata | pass | high | Both templates contain JSON-LD; the product exposes matching og:title, og:type=product and og:image. |
be-private-and-securesecure-transport-and-headers | issues | high | Headers 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. |
be-private-and-securedata-minimisation-and-third-parties | issues | high | Tracker 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-securein-context-permissions-and-modern-auth | issues | high | A 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-securedefensive-browser-policies | issues | high | CSP/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. |
be-resilientprogressive-enhancement | issues | high | The crawler screenshot starts with “Your browser does not support JavaScript!” and raw HTML contains only 27% of rendered content words. F13 high: Most dynamic commerce content is unavailable without JavaScript. |
be-resilientresilient-runtime-behaviour | issues | high | Load-time overlays are clipped/overflowing at 360px and obscure navigation/content. F03 critical: The homepage serves a desktop-width layout on a 360px mobile viewport. |
be-resilientoffline-and-installable | issues | medium | This 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-resilientnetwork-and-http-failure-states | pass | medium | A purpose-built 404 document is returned with localized error-page assets rather than a blank application shell. |
be-internationalisedlang-dir-and-logical-properties | pass | high | The document declares lang=en and exposes 18 hreflang alternatives, including Arabic and Hebrew variants. |
be-internationalisedlocale-aware-data | pass | medium | The sampled UK-context product renders GBP pricing and the page links to locale-specific country/language variants. |
be-internationalisedtime-zone-correctness | not-applicable | high | No event times, schedules, recurring intervals, or user-visible time-zone-sensitive data appear in the covered commerce paths. |
be-trustworthyno-dark-patterns | issues | high | The notification card shows a bright red Allow button and muted Don’t allow while the cookie consent panel simultaneously occupies the viewport. F15 medium: The notification prompt privileges acceptance and competes with cookie consent immediately on load. |
be-trustworthyhumane-error-handling | not-applicable | medium | No editable form with validation was available in the covered unauthenticated templates; search was already populated and checkout requires a separate account/payment journey. |
be-trustworthytrustworthy-input-assistance | issues | high | Search 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-trustworthysafe-commercial-and-account-flows | issues | high | Price 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. |
be-sustainableoptimised-assets | issues | high | The image probe found 65 oversized images, 67 below-fold images not lazy-loaded, 58 legacy-format images, and 50 without dimensions in a 100-image sample. F14 medium: Image delivery wastes bandwidth and omits stability metadata. |
be-sustainableno-wasteful-work | issues | high | 231 requests, 62 scripts, recommendation/analytics calls and four long tasks execute before user action. F09 high: The homepage ships a large script-heavy request graph before the user acts. |
be-sustainablethird-party-and-media-budget | issues | high | Cross-origin resources account for 227 requests and 3.12MB; 20 third-party origins include an ad tracker. F11 high: The first load has a broad third-party and tracking footprint before consent. |
be-agent-readystructured-agent-capabilities | issues | high | The 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. |
be-agent-readyon-device-inference | not-applicable | high | No summarization, translation-assistance, generation, or other user task in the covered marketplace paths calls for on-device inference. |
be-memory-efficientno-leak-under-repeated-interaction | pass | medium | Post-interaction heap was 54.70MB vs 54.52MB baseline (+0.34%) and node count +0.24%, with no unbounded growth signal in this bounded exercise. |
be-memory-efficientbounded-footprint | issues | medium | The homepage retains about 54.5MB self size across 609,560 heap nodes before extended interaction, a heavy footprint consistent with the large script graph. F09 high: The homepage ships a large script-heavy request graph before the user acts. |
be-memory-efficientno-detached-dom-or-unbounded-listeners | pass | medium | Neither summary lists Detached* constructors; the small total growth does not indicate listener/timer accumulation in this exercise. |
