Non-conformité bloquante : ce que le RGAA 5 change pour la mention d’accessibilité

Une non-conformité bloquante empêche une personne handicapée d’accéder à une information essentielle ou de terminer une démarche. Avec le RGAA 5, annoncé pour décembre 2026, un seul point bloquant donnera la mention « Accessibilité : non conforme », quel que soit le taux de conformité du site. Qu’est-ce qu’une non-conformité bloquante ? C’est une notion nouvelle du RGAA 5, décrite par la DINUM…

Original French Read in English

Non-conformité bloquante, a new concept in RGAA 5, is a rule that will determine the accessibility rating of a website. This new standard, set to be released in December 2026, will classify a site as non-conformant if it has even a single non-conformity that blocks a user from accessing essential information or completing a process.

Notable examples include non-responsive form buttons, auto-playing media without controls, and inaccessible captcha images. The DINUM, the official French standards body, has not yet provided a full list or methodology for identifying these blocking issues. The main purpose of this rule is to better inform users and encourage organizations to address blocking issues first.

A blocking issue will result in a "Accessibility: non-conformant" label, regardless of the overall compliance rate.

Fixing one bug in my security tool would have hidden every alert in my test project

I maintain depquiet . It sits on top of pip-audit, uv audit and npm audit and tries to cut down the noise. The one rule I care about is that it should never hide something real.

  • Bug fix nearly suppressed all security alerts in test project
  • EPSS scores estimated CVE exploitation likelihood
  • Rojas adjusted default behavior to sort findings instead

301 vs. 302 Redirects: How Search Engines Treat a URL Change, Measured on This Blog

Sooner or later every site changes a URL: a cleaner slug, a move to HTTPS, a new domain or subdomain. Each time, the same question comes up: should the redirect be a 301 or a 302?

  • 301 redirects signal permanent URL changes to search engines
  • 302 redirects indicate temporary changes, weaker signal
  • WordPress defaults to 302 redirects, should be explicitly set to 301
