Links8.3
- Some of the links in this site could be defined better.
- Badly defined links can cause problems for visitors who are not using a visual web browser, such as those with a visual impairment using a screen reader. They can also cause problems
- 2 links use duplicate text to point to different pages.
- Links should not repeat the same text to link to different pages. Usually this is a problem where a link is non-descriptive (e.g. 'More'). Note that it is possible to change the text a link points to without changing the appearance of the link. For example, 'Read more' could be a valid link, if you add a description into the 'title' attribute to the tag.

- Links should not repeat the same text to link to different pages. Usually this is a problem where a link is non-descriptive (e.g. 'More'). Note that it is possible to change the text a link points to without changing the appearance of the link. For example, 'Read more' could be a valid link, if you add a description into the 'title' attribute to the tag.
- 3 links use text that is too long.
- Links should describe what they link to briefly. Linking a long block of text usually indicates an attempt to trick search engines into ranking those keywords highly (a strategy which does not work). Long linked blocks of text are also harder for people to scan.

- Links should describe what they link to briefly. Linking a long block of text usually indicates an attempt to trick search engines into ranking those keywords highly (a strategy which does not work). Long linked blocks of text are also harder for people to scan.
- One link has no text describing its destination
- Links should describe what they link to for the benefit of both screenreader software and search engine spiders. It is possible that you have applied a link to an image and are relying on the user having a visual browser. Note that it is possible to change the text a link points to without changing the appearance of the link. For example, 'Read more' could be a valid link, if you add a description into the 'title' attribute to the tag.

Headings9.0
100% of pages have defined headings
- All pages were found to use defined headings. This is excellent as it allows visitors and search engines to summarise the content of webpages quickly. Correctly defined headings aid accessibility and are particularly important for search engine optimisation.
- Some pages did not define headings correctly. The H1 tag should be used for the most top-level heading, with H2 being used for sub-headings and H3 for further sub-headings and so-on. Not conforming to this convention may confuse visitors.
- Ensure that headings are defined in a semantically correct way, i.e. always start with a H1 tag. This is used to summarise the page content. Further tags (H2, H3, H4 etc) are meant to summarise and partition sections within the content.
