Axe-core has different types of rules, for WCAG 2.0 and 2.1 on level A and AA, as well as a number of best practices that help you identify common accessibility practices like ensuring every page has an `h1` heading, and to help you avoid "gotchas" in ARIA like where an ARIA attribute you used will get ignored.

With axe-core, you can find **on average 57% of WCAG issues automatically**. Additionally, axe-core will return elements as "incomplete" where axe-core could not be certain, and manual review is needed.
