Frames should be tested with axe-core

frame-tested

Ensure <iframe> and <frame> elements contain the axe-core script

This is advice, not conformance

No WCAG success criterion requires this check, so failing it does not fail an audit. It still catches real problems, which is why we surface it — separately, so your compliance score stays honest.

How it is reported

A11ySignal reports this at critical impact. Every failing element comes with its CSS selector and the markup that failed, so you can go straight to the line rather than hunting for it. Deque publishes the engine-level detail:
