Top issues to fix immediately: "Extremely poor text readability due to low contrast" — Increase the contrast between text and background; "Poor text readability due to low contrast" — Increase text contrast by either lightening the text color to near-white (#FFFFFF or #F0F0F0) or changing the backgro....
Weakest area — accessibility (6/10): Missing alt text for images, limited ARIA labels, and low contrast ratios in some text areas.

Extremely poor text readability due to low contrast
CRIT P9
Prompt to Fix
The issue is extremely low contrast between text and background making content unreadable and violating WCAG standards. Fix it by changing the body text color from the current dark gray/blue to white or very light gray (#FFFFFF or #F0F0F0) to achieve minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratio.
Why it's a bug
The body text appears to be light gray/blue colored text on a dark navy/black background. This creates severely insufficient contrast that makes the content extremely difficult to read. This is a clear WCAG 2.1 AA failure (minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratio for normal text required). The text is visibly strained to read in the screenshot.
Why it might not be a bug
This could be intentional dark mode styling, but even dark mode must maintain WCAG contrast requirements. The current contrast is objectively insufficient for accessibility standards.
Suggested Fix
Increase the contrast between text and background. Change text color to white or very light gray (#FFFFFF or #F0F0F0) to achieve at least 4.5:1 contrast ratio against the dark background.
Why Fix
This directly impacts accessibility for all users, especially those with low vision, color blindness, or viewing on non-optimal displays. It violates WCAG standards and legal accessibility requirements.

Poor text readability due to low contrast
HIGH P7
Prompt to Fix
The issue is insufficient text contrast between the light gray body text and dark background, failing WCAG accessibility standards. Fix it by changing the text color to white or near-white (#FFFFFF or #F0F0F0) to achieve at least 4.5:1 contrast ratio.
Why it's a bug
The body text appears to be light gray on a dark navy/black background throughout the entire page. This creates insufficient contrast ratio that likely fails WCAG AA standards (requires 4.5:1 for normal text). The text is visibly difficult to read, particularly in the main content sections.
Why it might not be a bug
Some users with normal vision may still be able to read the text with effort, though it causes eye strain.
Suggested Fix
Increase text contrast by either lightening the text color to near-white (#FFFFFF or #F0F0F0) or changing the background to a lighter shade. Ensure contrast ratio meets WCAG AA standards of at least 4.5:1 for normal text.
Why Fix
Low contrast violates accessibility standards and makes the page difficult for users with low vision, color blindness, or those viewing on non-optimal displays. This impacts usability for a significant portion of users.
