OT: It's difficult for me with my imperfect vision to read this web page because of inadequate contrast between body-text and background. Firefox dev tools measures a 3.52 contrast ratio — WCAG guidelines recommend 7:1 (AAA rating) or 4.5:1 (AA rating). However, viewing the page in reader mode seems to work as a solution.

What specifically are you measuring and what are the colors?

I'm seeing #555 on #fff for the body text, and while I'd prefer a darker and thicker font that comes out to WCAG 7.46:1 and APCA 85.9
