From the Dashboard Quick Wins panel or the Page List, select a page to see all of the issues reported for a single webpage.

Tabs on the left side of the webpage preview display information about the page and found issues. Tabs available are Accessibility, Best Practices, Broken Links, Spell Check, Flagged Words, Policies (Custom Checks), Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Readability, Header information, and Open Tasks.

To view issues by a category, select the corresponding tab.

When utilizing a keyboard for navigation, tab to the first tab Accessibility and then use the up and down arrows to navigate between tabs. Press the Enter key to open the corresponding information panel. Press the Tab key to enter the corresponding information panel.

Issues in the Accessibility panel factor into the Accessibility Score for the site. Ignore check for this page turns off the Accessibility checking for the single page.

Select an Accessibility issue to see additional details and highlighting of the issue on the webpage preview. The expanded issue details the impact of the violation, the specific WCAG standard that the issue violates, Element Location, Ignore Issue options, and Task options.

Element Location will assist with locating the code that needs adjustment.

If the issue is not highlighting on the webpage when selected, please see the FAQ article titled Issue not highlighting on the webpage when selected?

The user role dictates whether the user will see the Ignore Issue option and whether the user will have the additional options to Ignore Issue for the page, site, or full account.

See the Task Overview and Creation article for more information about Creating Tasks.

The Best Practices panel is similar to the Accessibility panel options. Please note that while Best Practices may be related to Accessibility, the Best Practices do not factor into the Accessibility score. Best Practices do not mean that an accessibility issue is introduced using code. The Best Practice indicates that a technique should be adopted to make your website more accessible.

The Broken Links panel displays what links were reported broken for a webpage. Each Broken Link will provide what the error status was for a reported link. Note that a 404 error is a truly broken link.

Other status codes could be an indication of something other than a real broken link. For instance, a 429 status indicates that a web server stopped allowing DubBot to access a URL check for the web domain because it throttles traffic from a single browser over a certain amount of time.

Depending on a user's role, a Broken Link can be ignored for a Page, Site, or Account.

If you notice an issue for a link or set of links that are not actually broken, the specific broken link or a regular expression for ignoring a set of links should be added to Settings > Links. For further assistance configuring this setting, contact DubBot support via the Chat icon, make a Task and assign it to @DubBot Support, or email help@dubbot.com.

The Policies panel displays additional checks that have been configured as add-ons to the provided checking sections. Policies can be configured for specific organizations and sites. Policies can be add-on checks for web governance, accessibility warning signs, SEO practices outlined by your organization, or simply quality checks for known common issues.
