1-JS required. Why? Documentation is boring text, more necessary than
wanted. A static Table of Contents is offered as substitute for JS
behavior, but has no clickable links to any actual documentation.
Obviously JS can enhance, but to serve up no useful information
without it?

2-Boldly states "welcome", yet creates unwelcome feeling via
preponderance of
mousetype[1], as demonstrated by:

It makes me unhappy and want hit the back button, not welcome, and not
wanting to face the dig for the instruction I need. I'm hardly alone
on this
issue.[2]

Personality altered from docs via use of gray text of similar size to
further
reduce legibility.

The difference here is the even less legible list of tiny pale blue links
overwhelming the viewport, even smaller text in the main subject area
than
the navigation wrap.

Is there a compelling reason Fedora can't be a leader in web site
friendliness as well as distro compilation? Am I the only one involved
in the project who thinks following the lead of most of the rest of
the web is rude[3]?

So to sum it up, the default font sizes of some of the fedora websites is too small, and some are too lightly coloured?

Would it also be possible to get the bugs that those attached screenshots are from? Additionally, those screenshots are quite busy, and i find it very hard to parse the information on them. Is what you are running there basically a tool that assesses the font sizes of websites?

Finally, the best way to help out with making the fedora websites better is to help out the websites team! The follwoing link gives you all the details on how to join and help out!
