The WebAIM Million The 2024 report on the accessibility of the top 1,000,000 home pages Introduction For the sixth consecutive year, WebAIM conducted an accessibility evaluation of the home pages for the top 1,000,000 web sites. The evaluation was conducted using the WAVE stand-alone API (with additional tools to collect site technology and sector data).
This year's sample covered a broader swath of the web with fewer infrastructural domains that users would not view, such as CDNs, image and data servers, APIs, etc. Sports, shopping, style & fashion, real estate, and adult content home pages, for example, had over twice the number of errors on average as governmental web sites. theTradeDesk6,51439.0−31.4%Linkedin Ads12,75044.9−21.0%Amazon Advertising14,59858.1+2.3%Microsoft Advertising33,26059.7+5.0%Pubmatic8,18963.8+12.4%AppNexus10,80564.1+12.8%OpenX5,60964.3+13.2%Prebid18,91564.4+13.4%Teads5,09264.9+14.3%Taboola8,89566.0+16.2%33Across13,55966.1+16.3%Twitter Ads34,56766.6+17.3%Pinterest Ads15,21066.7+17.4%ID59,33267.1+18.2%Rubicon Project9,29367.5+18.8%Google AdSense68,64669.1+21.6%Yandex65,82572.9+28.4%Doubleclick10,06474.7+31.5%Criteo18,89788.0+54.8%Pages that utilized almost any of these popular ad systems had more errors on average than those that did not.
