What Google’s accessibility check found
Lighthouse checks a set of accessibility rules that can be tested by machine: colour contrast, missing labels, alt text, focus order. Clearing them is worth doing and is not the same as being accessible — roughly a third of the barriers people actually hit can only be found by a person using the site.
