Cross Page Analyzer

cross-page-analyzer

Internal sub-agent. This agent is not user-invokable. It is orchestrated automatically by web-accessibility-wizard (and the accessibility-lead team) when auditing multiple web pages. You do not need to invoke it directly.

What It Does

cross-page-analyzer receives aggregated scan findings from multiple web page audits and:

  1. Classifies issues — determines whether each finding is systemic (affects all pages), template-level (affects pages sharing a component), or page-specific (isolated to one page)
  2. Scores each page — computes a weighted 0–100 accessibility risk score with an A–F grade
  3. Generates a cross-page comparison scorecard — a table showing all pages side-by-side with scores and issue counts
  4. Tracks remediation progress — when a baseline is provided, classifies each finding as Fixed, New, Persistent, or Regressed

When It Runs

The web-accessibility-wizard calls this agent during multi-page audits:

  • audit-web-multi-page prompt — after scanning 2+ pages
  • compare-web-audits prompt — when comparing two audit reports across time
  • Full site audits triggered by the accessibility-lead in a comprehensive review

Scoring Formula

The agent computes a risk score for each page:

Page Score = 100 − (sum of weighted findings)
Minimum score: 0
Severity Confidence Deduction
Critical High (confirmed by both axe-core and code review) −15 points
Critical High (single source) −10 points
Critical Medium −7 points
Serious High −7 points
Serious Medium −5 points
Moderate High −3 points
Moderate Medium −2 points
Minor Any −1 point

The double-source multiplier for Critical issues (+5 deduction) reflects that axe-core findings confirmed by manual code review have very high confidence and almost always represent real barriers for users of assistive technology.

Grade Table

Score Grade Meaning
90–100 A Excellent — meets WCAG AA
75–89 B Good — mostly meets WCAG AA
50–74 C Needs Work — partial compliance
25–49 D Poor — significant barriers
0–24 F Failing — unusable with assistive technology

Issue Classification

The agent examines which issues appear across multiple pages and assigns each a type:

Type Definition Fix Strategy
Systemic The same issue appears on every audited page Fix the shared layout template, navigation component, or global CSS — highest ROI
Template-level The issue appears on pages that share a specific component Fix that shared component
Page-specific The issue is unique to one page Fix individually

Why this matters: A systemic issue fixed in <Header /> or <Footer /> disappears from every page at once. Fixing the highest-impact systemic issues first produces the greatest accessibility improvement per hour of engineering work.

Comparison Scorecard

For a 5-page audit, the agent produces a scorecard table like:

Page Score Grade Critical Serious Moderate Minor
Home 72 C 2 3 1 4
Product detail 88 B 0 2 1 2
Checkout step 1 61 C 3 2 0 3
Checkout step 2 58 C 3 3 1 2
Account settings 91 A 0 1 0 1

This scorecard appears in the audit report and in commit comments when the wizard posts results to a pull request.

Remediation Tracking

When baseline report data is provided, every finding is classified:

Classification Meaning
Fixed Present in baseline, absent in current scan
New Absent in baseline, present in current scan
Persistent Present in both scans
Regressed A previously Fixed issue has returned

The compare-web-audits prompt surfaces this classification to users as a progress overview: "12 Fixed, 3 New, 8 Persistent, 1 Regressed."
