The Top Domain Blockers card in Site Workspace highlights up to five significant accessibility issues detected across your website.
Unlike Pages Needing Attention, which focuses on individual pages, Top Domain Blockers identifies recurring types of accessibility problems that may affect multiple pages or elements.
This helps you recognize issues that could benefit from broader improvements rather than addressing each affected page separately.
1. Where to Find Top Domain Blockers
Open Site Workspace and select the relevant website controller.
The Top Domain Blockers card appears in the right-hand overview area, below Content Readiness.
It displays the most significant identified accessibility issues based on the available audit results.

2. Understanding the Blockers
Each entry represents a type of accessibility issue identified through automated testing.
Examples may include:
- Insufficient contrast between text and background colors.
- Images without appropriate alternative text.
- Buttons or links without accessible names.
- Form fields without suitable labels.
- Incorrect accessibility attributes.
SimplifyAccess considers the extent and potential impact of detected issues when determining which blockers to highlight.
The card displays a prioritized selection, not a complete list of all accessibility findings.
Understanding the Indicators
Each blocker includes three informational values:
| Indicator | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pages | Number of audited pages affected by this type of issue |
| Affected | Number of affected elements identified across those pages |
| Priority | Relative importance of the issue, displayed as P0, P1, or P2 |
Priority Levels
| Priority | General interpretation |
|---|---|
| P0 | Highest priority — potentially significant accessibility impact |
| P1 | Elevated priority — an important issue that should be addressed |
| P2 | Standard priority — an issue that should be reviewed as part of ongoing improvements |
Priority classifications help organize accessibility work. They are not legal compliance ratings.
Example
A blocker might display:
Elements have insufficient color contrast
Pages: 8 · Affected: 24 · P1
This indicates that the issue was detected on eight pages, involving 24 affected elements, and has been assigned an elevated priority.
If the same problem appears across several pages, it may originate from a shared design component or website template.
Correcting the underlying component could therefore improve accessibility across multiple pages at once.
3. Using the Information
Top Domain Blockers helps you identify accessibility improvements that may have a wider impact on your website.
For example, instead of correcting the same contrast problem individually on several pages, your development team might be able to resolve it through a shared design adjustment.
To investigate the underlying findings, open the relevant pages in Site Workspace and review their accessibility audit results.
After implementing corrections, new accessibility audits can help verify whether the issues have been resolved.
If no recurring blockers are identified, the card displays No recurring blockers found.
This indicates that the available automated results have not identified relevant recurring issues. It does not guarantee that the website is free of accessibility barriers.
