Each homepage was opened in a fresh browser with no cache at 1280 × 900, twice, keeping the faster time. Both were measured from the RE:GOV server on October 28, 2026; the rebuild is served through regov.app. Speed on a phone or a slow connection will differ, but the gap in weight and requests holds.

Citizen's Charter

Read from PDFs by Muse Spark

The original site links its services only as PDF documents. Muse Spark read 1 of them and rebuilt 14 services as pages with requirements, steps, fees, processing time and the person responsible, copied as written. They are listed on the rebuilt site’s services and requirements page and answer questions in “Ask this site”.

Office	Services	Document
Member Electronic Services Department	14	2026-SSS-Citizens-Charter-1st-Edition-External-Services.pdf

Charters are updated yearly; every service page links its PDF so a person can check the figures.

WCAG 2.2 AA

Mapped to the current W3C accessibility standard

Each accessibility finding on the original site is tagged with the WCAG 2.2 success criterion it breaks. The original pages were also scanned with axe-core during the crawl. Every rebuilt page was then tested with axe-core 4.14.0 against the WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 Level A and AA rules.

19
WCAG 2.2 criteria failed on the original: 29
rebuilt pages tested with axe-core: 0
automated violations on the rebuild: 14

2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context)	A	6 findings · 39 elements (axe)	Passes automated check
2.4.6 Headings and Labels	AA	2 findings	Needs manual check
2.4.7 Focus Visible	AA	5 findings	Needs manual check
2.5.8 Target Size (Minimum)	AA	1 finding · 207 elements (axe)	Passes automated check

3.1.2 Language of Parts	AA	2 findings	Passes automated check
4.1.2 Name, Role, Value	A	49 elements (axe)	Passes automated check

Automated tools catch roughly a third of WCAG issues. Criteria marked “Needs manual check” (for example keyboard use, focus order, captions and meaningful link text) need a person with a keyboard and a screen reader before the agency can claim conformance. 11 findings are good practice without a specific WCAG criterion.

Source analysis

What SAM 3.1 saw on the old homepage

Noun-phrase prompts (logo, search box, map, infographic, photograph) on the original first screen, before any page was rewritten. The seal was cut out and reused as the new site’s brand mark.
