Annual accessibility analysis of the top 1 million home pages

- "56% of the 3.4 million form inputs identified were unlabeled." - I would expect _some_ inputs unlabelled, but over half of all inputs on the internet? Crazy.
- "On average, home pages had 36 distinct instances of low-contrast text." - I'm still waiting for the "light gray on white" trend to decline. I consider myself having a very good eye sight, but even I struggle looking at my mobile phone on a sunny day.
- "Home pages with ARIA present averaged 60% more errors than those without." - Actually not _that_ surprising, because it takes a lot of time/experience to get more complex components fully accessible. My go-to resource: https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices-1.2/
- All those issues were determined automatically. This means: 1. Those errors are avoidable even without in-depth a11y knowledge 2. The number of inaccessible websites is _even higher_. :(
