Accessibility & Performance Audit

Lighthouse Scores (Production Build - January 2026)

Page	Performance	Accessibility	SEO	Best Practices
Home	99%	100%	100%	77%*
Services	98%	100%	100%	100%
About	99%	100%	100%	100%

*Home page Best Practices is 77% due to Cloudflare Turnstile third-party cookies (_cfuvid) for bot protection on the contact form. This is expected behavior and cannot be avoided without removing bot protection.

✅ Completed Fixes

Accessibility (100% on all pages)

• Color contrast - Fixed emerald circles (bg-emerald-600 → bg-emerald-700) for 5.15:1 contrast ratio
• Heading order - Fixed heading hierarchy across all pages (h1 → h2 → h3 → h4)
• Theme toggle - Has proper aria-label describing action
• Skip-to-main link - Present in header
• Form accessibility - Labels, aria-describedby, aria-invalid, role="alert"

Performance (98-99% on all pages)

• Lazy load NebulaField - Using next/dynamic with requestIdleCallback
• Console errors - Removed debug console.log statements
• Production build - All tests run against production build

SEO (100% on all pages)

• Meta descriptions - All pages have proper descriptions
• OpenGraph metadata - Configured for social sharing
• Semantic HTML - Proper heading hierarchy and landmarks

Accessibility Features

WCAG 2.2 AA Compliance

• Skip-to-main-content link in header
• Semantic HTML5 structure (<main>, <nav>, <header>, <footer>, <address>)
• ARIA labels on interactive elements
• Form fields with proper <label> elements and htmlFor
• aria-describedby and aria-invalid on form inputs
• role="alert" on error messages
• role="status" and aria-live="polite" on notifications
• sr-only classes for screen reader text
• lang="en" on <html> element
• Color contrast ratios meeting 4.5:1 minimum
• Proper heading hierarchy (no skipped levels)

Keyboard Navigation

• All interactive elements focusable
• Focus indicators visible in both themes
• Tab order follows visual layout

Reduced Motion

• Theme toggle respects prefers-reduced-motion
• View transition animations skipped when preferred

Remaining Tasks

P1 - High Priority

• Set up Playwright with axe-core for automated a11y testing
• Manual screen reader testing (NVDA, VoiceOver)

P2 - Medium Priority

• Add prefers-reduced-motion support to NebulaField
• Keyboard navigation audit

P3 - Nice to Have

• Add structured data (JSON-LD) for Organization
• Further performance optimization for canvas animations

Testing Commands

# Run Lighthouse on all pages (production build)
pnpm build && pnpm start

# In another terminal:
npx lighthouse http://localhost:3000 --output=json --output-path=/tmp/lighthouse-home.json --chrome-flags="--headless --no-sandbox" --only-categories=accessibility,seo,performance,best-practices

npx lighthouse http://localhost:3000/services --output=json --output-path=/tmp/lighthouse-services.json --chrome-flags="--headless --no-sandbox" --only-categories=accessibility,seo,performance,best-practices

npx lighthouse http://localhost:3000/about --output=json --output-path=/tmp/lighthouse-about.json --chrome-flags="--headless --no-sandbox" --only-categories=accessibility,seo,performance,best-practices

# Extract scores
for page in home services about; do
  echo "=== $page ==="
  jq '.categories | to_entries | map("\(.key): \(.value.score * 100)%") | .[]' /tmp/lighthouse-$page.json
done

Playwright Setup (Future)

pnpm add -D @playwright/test @axe-core/playwright
npx playwright install

# Create tests/a11y.spec.ts with axe-core integration
