This is what an Axively audit looks like.

A real audit of a real website, a mid-size company site of about 100 pages. We only left out the name. Every number, finding and fix suggestion is real.

Timeline:
Recommended improvement.

A high finding count is not a disaster, it's an inventory. What matters is the severity breakdown and the fact that 6,757 occurrences here came from just 6 distinct causes.

Finding 1, Touch target too small

What the scanner found
Rule:
target-size
Severity:
serious
WCAG:
2.5.8 Target Size (Minimum), level AA (new in WCAG 2.2)
Occurrences:
252
Element:
phone link in the header, touch target smaller than 24 × 24 px, close to other links
AI fix suggestion

People with motor or visual impairments and touch-device users struggle to hit a small target and make errors. Enlarge the clickable area with padding:

/* before */
<a href="tel:..." class="page-header--link">+33 1 00 00 00 00</a>

/* after */
<a href="tel:..." class="page-header--link"
   style="padding:10px; display:inline-block;">+33 1 00 00 00 00</a>

In practice we recommend fixing this with a CSS class rather than an inline style, the suggestion shows the principle.

Finding 2, Form field without a visible label

What the scanner found
Rule:
label-title-only
Severity:
serious
WCAG:
3.3.2 Labels or Instructions (A) + 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value (A)
Occurrences:
64
Element:
a search field labelled only by a title attribute, no <label>
AI fix suggestion

With no visible <label>, a screen reader can't reliably say what the field is for. title and placeholder are not enough. Add a linked label:

/* before */
<input class="search" title="address" type="text">

/* after */
<label for="locality">Address</label>
<input id="locality" class="search" type="text">

Finding 3 — Content outside landmark regions

What the scanner found
Rule:
region
Severity:
moderate
WCAG:
1.3.1 Info and Relationships, level A
Occurrences:
6,400
Element:
content sitting outside landmark regions — a single template element repeated on every page
AI fix suggestion

Screen readers can't reliably navigate or skip content that sits outside landmark regions. Because it's a template element, wrap it in a single landmark:

/* before */
<div class="page-content">
  ...
</div>

/* after */
<main class="page-content">
  ...
</main>

A single template fix removes all ~6,400 occurrences — fixed per template, not per page.

Why 6,757 occurrences = just 6 causes

A high number of occurrences doesn't mean thousands of different problems — usually it's a handful of causes repeated across templates. So an audit is handled per template and per cause, not page by page: one template fix clears all of its occurrences at once.

What else you get

A note on the scale: the summary above sorts findings into 3 risk levels (high / medium / low) by compliance impact, which also drives the price. The report below breaks them into 4 technical levels (critical / serious / moderate / minor) by defect severity as rated by the scanning engine. Two views of the same data, not a mismatch.
