Website Accessibility and Performance Compliance Report

pursuant to EU Directive 2016/2102 on web accessibility

1. Introduction

This document presents the analysis carried out on the Victoria Industries website (https://www.victoriaindustries.it), with the aim of evaluating its compliance with accessibility principles established by EU Directive 2016/2102.
Although not strictly subject to this Directive as a private company, Victoria Industries has voluntarily chosen to adopt international accessibility standards as a commitment to digital inclusion and responsibility towards all users, regardless of physical or cognitive abilities.

The optimization work was performed to increase the usability of the site by improving its technical, visual, and functional accessibility, with tangible benefits also in terms of general performance and SEO.

2. Evaluation Methodology

The analysis was conducted using a combination of automated tools and manual verification by expert technicians:

  • Automated tools: PageSpeed Insight
  • Manual checks: keyboard navigation, semantic interpretation, screen reader testing
  • Reference standards: WCAG 2.1 Guidelines – Level AA

Each representative page of the website was carefully examined to assess compliance with key accessibility criteria.
