Inconsistencies due to website updates

Code or content changes deployed to your website between two scans can change the accessibility issues detected.

Root cause and explanation

If you or your team has deployed any changes to your website, the issues detected on your website can change. This could happen if there are modifications to content, HTML, CSS, or scripts.

Affected products

All products in BrowserStack Accessibility Testing can show changes to issue count if you updated your website.

These products are:

• Workflow Analyzer
• Website Scanner
• Automated tests

Remediation

Any updates to your website can result in differences in its accessibility issue count. This is an expected outcome as changes might have fixed old issues or introduced new ones.

Retry the scan to check whether the issue persists.

If the issue persists, follow these steps to avoid changes to issue count:

• Check with your team about any recent deployments, CMS content updates, or frontend changes between scans.
• Check if any additional issues reported are in the components that were recently changed.
• Fix any new issues by following the instructions provided.
