AudioEye's inaugural Digital Accessibility Index Report was featured in Forbes this week. #ICYMI, this report covers audits of 2 million pages across 40,000 enterprise domains across the web, highlighting some of the most inaccessible issues impacting people with disabilities every day.
Why is this important? 97% of the internet is completely inaccessible for people with disabilities. This should shock anyone working in tech or even just being a regular internet user.
To put it more plainly, imagine, for a moment, you log into your favorite clothing brand's website, only to find out you can't complete a purchase because the shopping cart won't allow you to. You try and order groceries and can't navigate the store's website to find the items you need. A news site you are interested in has so much garbage on their home page, it makes it impossible for you to find an article you need to learn about voting, or local issues that regularly impact your daily way of life.
That's right - you're just blocked from doing these things. Blocked. This is what the internet looks like for 1 in 4 people across the globe - every single day.
Our report highlights some of these huge roadblocks happening on some of the biggest enterprise websites used by thousands of internet users, daily.
Check out the report & share it broadly with your networks. We need to do better to help people who have been treated like second-class citizens for way too long. In 2023, everyone should have accessible access to the free internet - but the harsh reality is: they don't.
