UTA Social Media Pages — Hydrated WCAG 2.1 AA Audit

Generated: 2026-04-30T12:22:25.300Z API: https://api.theaccessible.org/api/v2/validate · Renderer: headless Chrome (Puppeteer)

Method

5 social profile URLs were sampled at random from https://www.uta.edu/social (251 candidate links). Each was rendered with headless Chrome (networkidle2, desktop UA) so JS-driven SPAs hydrate before scoring, then the resulting HTML was POSTed to /api/v2/validate. Run with tools/url-audit:

cd tools/url-audit
export AUDIT_TOKEN="$(grep '^SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY=' ../../workers/api/.env.staging | cut -d= -f2)"
npm run audit -- --urls picked.txt --out report.md

Note: most violations below are platform-level (X, Instagram) — UTA cannot remediate them. Useful as a baseline showing which third-party platforms ship inaccessible markup that UTA-managed accounts inherit.
