IMPORTANT NOTE

This tool assists in identifying potential accessibility issues but does not guarantee full WCAG conformance. Automated testing can detect many common issues, but comprehensive accessibility assessment requires manual testing and review by accessibility professionals. We recommend using Bumi as part of a broader accessibility testing strategy.
