This is the last of our releases for the month of August. And you know what that means: summer’s over (unofficially). Sorry, teachers—no more mimosas at noon. Like it or not, the fall semester is just around the corner. I know, it’s sad. But you know what’ll cheer you up? Some exciting new features hitting the EqualGround Accessibility Governance Platform this week!
Performance Report to Evaluate Response Time of Web Pages
Slow-loading content can quickly cause users to lose interest in websites. Seriously, if I go to a website and it doesn’t load immediately, I’m gone. And because we assume you all have as little patience as I do, EqualGround now offers a comprehensive performance report that evaluates the following key speed metrics:
- First Contentful Paint: The time it takes to display the first piece of content.
- Largest Contentful Paint: The time it takes to display the largest content.
- Total Blocking Time: The total time a web page is unresponsive while loading.
- Time to First Byte (this made me hungry for some reason): The time it takes for the browser to receive the first piece of information from the server.
This will allow ongoing analysis to maintain or improve performance over time.
Analytics to Improve Search Engine Visibility With SEO Reporting
For all you visual learners out there, this report offers an overview graph to allow you to track trends for the overall SEO score across your organization’s websites. Additionally, a table displays each website’s score and allows you to review issues organized by the number of times they occur.
Evaluate the Accessibility of Files With Document Reporting
Tired of reports yet? Neither are we! The Document Report provides an in-depth analysis of file accessibility across your organization’s websites. You can review analytics on the number of monthly issues and identify the most common problems found within documents.
Open Documents to Review WCAG 2.2 Accessibility Issues
When reviewing reports in the visual web view, documents on the web page will automatically be detected. These documents can then be opened directly within EqualGround, where you can see highlighted WCAG 2.2 accessibility issues and the steps required to resolve them.
AutoPilot to Improve WCAG, ARIA, and SEO Issues
AutoPilot has landed in EqualGround! Or on EqualGround. Whatever makes a better pun. AutoPilot now highlights problematic snippets of web-page code and proposes fixes so you can resolve any issues. These fixes can easily be copied and pasted into the web page’s code for maximum remediation.
And there you have it. Let us bid adieu to summer and strap ourselves in for what promises to be a wonderful autumn. Until next time, enjoy using the EqualGround Accessibility Governance Platform.
