Fortunately we hardly have to worry about WCAG 2.3.1 (3 flashes or
below) any more.
But someone asked me about it this weekend, and I was going to refer
them to PEAT "Photosensitive Epilepsy Analysis Tool" from the Trace
center.
But the link from the WCAG 2.3.1 page (under the "resources" section),
as well as links from Google search return a "page cannot be found"
error.
The latest entry in the Google search appears to have been posted on 03/15/2012.
Does anyone know if the tool is still alive? If so, has it been moved?
Thanks

Birkir, within the last 2 years I have coached a project team to use PEAT, so I know the link was still viable in 2013, but today I can't get anything from that subdomainâtrace.wisc.eduâto load. So it seems the problem isn't limited to the tool.
I found mentions of the TRACE Center all over the University of Wisconsin website. None of the links pointing to the trace.wisc.edu subdomain work. It doesn't seem to be link rot; it seems to be a server crash or the like.

The site appears to be alive and well today. PEAT can be found here: http://trace.wisc.edu/peat/
Glad to see that it did not disappear without a TRACE - that was my bad pun for the day.
