Anatomy of an Issue
Every issue detected by Crucible Scan contains: the WCAG Criterion violated (e.g., “1.1.1 Non-text Content”), a color-coded severity badge, a human-readable description, the element HTML that triggered it (truncated to 200 characters), the page URL, and action buttons for Resolve, Dismiss, or Rescan.
How Issues Map to WCAG
Each automated test targets one or more WCAG 2.2 success criteria. The image alt text check maps to 1.1.1, heading structure to 1.3.1, contrast to 1.4.3, and so on. The scanner evaluates 56 criteria total across all four principles.
Issue Count vs Unique Issues
The same issue type can appear on multiple pages. A generic “click here” link in a footer appears once per page containing that footer. The Dashboard shows total count; individual page views show page-specific issues.
