 '''Front Page'''

 * Heading structure – there are multiple h1s. Needs a better hierarchy
 * Search button has no text in it so screen readers have nothing to voice.
 Suggest use screen reader text.
 * ‘See all’ links – see all what? Need screen reader text for context
 there.
 * Ratings count figure could use some screen reader text to explain what
 the number represents
 * Some screen readers may not read out star rating in title attribute –
 could use screen reader text instead.

 '''Plugin Page'''

 * Heading structure – there are multiple h1s. Needs a better hierarchy
 * Search button has no text in it so screen readers have nothing to voice.
 Suggest use screen reader text.
 * Some screen readers may not read out star rating in title attribute –
 could use screen reader text instead.
 * Could use a heading above the Version, Last Updated, etc in the same way
 as there is for Ratings and Support. Screen reader users use headings to
 navigate around page to save time.
