What Dr Urls found on thecandidate.co.uk
From the audit of their public home page on 22/10/2026, worst first. Each links to what it means and how it is fixed.

- mediumDuplicate ID attributes found
Duplicate IDs cause label elements, aria-labelledby, aria-describedby, and fragment link targets to associate with the wrong element.
- mediumForm inputs missing associated labels
Unlabelled form fields are unusable for screen reader users, who represent a significant portion of potential customers.

- mediumToo many external JavaScript files
Each external script requires a DNS lookup, TCP connection, and HTTP request.
