This page lets you compare the amount of
reflow issues
in NZ Govt agencies. Data is from NZ Govt's official figures, as part of the CWAC monitoring programme.
Reflow is whether a page rearranges into a single column and stays usable at high zoom or on a
narrow screen, instead of needing two-directional scrolling. It matters most to low vision
users, who often zoom to 400% or more. When reflow fails, content runs off the side of the
screen and every line means scrolling sideways to read. Results above 0 indicate a failure of WCAG Success Criterion 1.4.10 Reflow.
Note: The automated test used for reflow testing indicates, but does not prove WCAG
SC 1.4.10 Reflow failures. Manual verification is required.
