    1 When the Site Health tests run, a few audible messages are sent to the `speak()`  ARIA live regions. These messages are announced by screen readers and provide users with audibel feedback about what's going on.

    1919- Visually, some text at the top informs sighted users that `Results are still loading…`. There's no equivalent info for screen reader users. It is worth considering to add a speak message to provide an equivalent information to screen reader users.

    3333Overall, I think all the audible feedback has room for improvements to make the messages:
    34 - better match the actual state of hte tests and the state of the UI
