Make copy of headings clearer on Site blocking report pages #400

Closed edjw closed 5 years ago

edjw commented 5 years ago

I showed Blocked to my wife earlier and this is something that confused her.

When you check a URL you get a Site blocking report. It was not clear to my wife which ISPs were blocking the URL and which weren't.

We're only relying on the background colour to communicate some of this. We should use better copy on the headings to help users with this.

I think changes like these would really help.

"Active blocks" -> "ISPs currently blocking this site"

"Past blocks" -> "ISPs who previously blocked this site"

"All results" -> "ISPs never detected as blocking this site" (This one needs improving a bit more but it's accurate, I think(?) The current label isn't accurate though. It's not All results!)

––––––

(I am almost certain that the background of the Active Blocks section does not actually turn green when you scroll. It might be worth checking though.)

Yep, we can definitely change those.

I'm sure we used to have the text description of the status on each row for a degree of accessibility (I'm colorblind).

All results really meant "all other results"

Can you elaborate on this one? As far as I can remember there aren't any scripted color changes, and the CSS background colors are applied statically.

Those rows change colour on the attached gif. I'm not sure that it's accurate

I've done an initial update of the titles. In live results mode, the current and past updates are as suggested. I've changed "all results" to "all other results" for now, but it's easy to change.

In non-live results mode, the current and past blocks use the format "x past blocks" and "x active blocks". We can change these to match the longer form titles if you like.

This has been rolled out now. In live check mode, all three headings are always available, and the "All results" heading is now titled "All other results". In non-live mode, the active and past blocks are only visible if there is an entry to be shown. If there are current or past blocks, the "all results" heading is "all other results", otherwise it defaults to "all results".
