Whole-page review

Whole page is the second tab of the review panel you open from the Accessibility item in the admin bar. It checks everything your browser draws for that address: the theme's header and navigation, sidebars, the footer, cookie and chat widgets, and page-builder sections. It starts on its own once the browser is idle, and Check again runs it after you change something. Your server also runs the content checks on the page's markup, so a problem in a menu or footer is found together with the part it comes from.

Because it runs on the finished page, it can measure what content checks cannot. Text contrast is worked out from the colors the browser paints, including theme styles, global styles, page-builder CSS, gradients and text over images, and a low-contrast finding names the closest passing color in your theme palette where there is one. Text over a video, or over an image from another site that the browser will not let Lumtera read, is listed for you to check by eye. It also checks controls, icons and focus indicators that are hard to see, links told apart only by color, small crowded targets, and sticky bars that could hide keyboard focus.

It reads the page as a whole: the page title and language, blocked zoom, sideways scrolling, main landmarks and their names, the skip link, the heading outline, and items shown in a different order from the HTML. Tick Also test text spacing to apply wider spacing for a moment and find text that is cut off. The Keyboard tab adds the keyboard walk, which numbers every Tab stop and finds invisible focus, focus that jumps back up the page, focus that changes the page and possible traps, and widget tests that open and close menus, disclosures, dialogs, tabs and carousels from the keyboard, then put the page back.
