+1 - and also one's that require certain interaction (e.g., keyboard focus).

Related, I was a bit jarred by this statement: "You will be able to perform any of the following checks on any web page." Is it possible to revise this statement to set the tone for that??

"You can perform these checks on any web page, though note some checks will require being able to view the screen and use a keyboard."

Certain accessibility checks are designed to evaluate how well a website can be navigated and understood visually and through keyboard use. These checks aim to ensure the website is accessible and user-friendly for those who rely on visual cues and keyboard navigation. However, individuals with vision-related disabilities or limited keyboard ability may find these specific checks challenging.

How about:

Certain accessibility checks evaluate visual cues and keyboard-only navigation that are important for many users. However, this means individuals with vision-related disabilities or limited keyboard ability may find these specific checks challenging.

Some checks will require hearing too, e.g. for sensible captions or transcripts
