Focusing an element must not trigger an unexpected change of context

2 elements

Keyboard and switch-device users move focus carefully before deciding to activate anything. When focusing an element opens a new window, submits a form, steals focus, or navigates away, they are thrown off course before they have chosen to act.

Text must remain readable when spacing is increased

16 elements

People with low vision and dyslexia increase line height, letter spacing, word spacing, and paragraph spacing so they can read. Fixed-height boxes and overflow: hidden containers clip or overlap that text, which is a loss of content under WCAG 1.4.12.

All page content should be contained by landmarks

1 element

Content should be organized within high-level landmark regions like <header>, <navigation>, <main>, and <footer>. Content outside these sections is difficult to find and its purpose may be unclear, making navigation inefficient for screen reader users who rely on landmarks to understand page structure.

Fix any of the following:

Some page content is not contained by landmarks

Passed audits41 across 1 page

<html> element must have a lang attribute

1 element

Screen readers need language information to switch between pronunciation libraries. Without a specified language, screen readers default to the user's preferred language, resulting in incorrect pronunciation that sounds like a strange accent and makes content difficult or impossible to understand.

<html> element must have a valid value for the lang attribute

Screen readers use language-specific sound libraries for proper pronunciation. Invalid language attributes cause screen readers to use the wrong library, making text sound like a confusing accent or completely unintelligible, especially for multilingual users who access content in multiple languages.

All touch targets must be 24px large, or leave sufficient space

Elements must meet minimum color contrast ratio thresholds

1 element

People with low vision or color blindness cannot read text that lacks sufficient contrast with its background. With nearly three times more people having low vision than total blindness, and 8% of men and 0.4% of women having color deficiencies, adequate contrast is essential for making text readable to millions of users.

Using prohibited ARIA attributes prevents important information from reaching assistive technology users. It also causes assistive technologies to behave inconsistently as they attempt to compensate for the error.

Elements must only use supported ARIA attributes

Using ARIA attributes in roles where they're not allowed can disable accessibility for entire sections of your application. Invalid attribute-role combinations create conflicts that cause assistive technologies to report incorrect or nonsensical information about your interface.

Elements should not have tabindex greater than zero

10 elements

Using tabindex values greater than 0 creates unexpected tab orders that disorient users. It makes elements appear to be skipped when users tab past them, requires setting tabindex on every element to maintain order, and forces all tabindex items to be visited before any normal elements, breaking natural navigation flow.

Focused elements must not be entirely hidden by author-created content

50 elements

Keyboard users have no pointer to show where they are. The focus indicator is their only cue, and a sticky header, footer, cookie banner, or other author-created overlay that completely hides the focused control strands them with no idea what will activate next.

Heading levels should only increase by one

1 element

Headings convey page structure for screen reader users the same way text size does for sighted users. Properly ordered headings (h1 through h6) allow screen reader users to quickly navigate and understand content structure, saving significant time and frustration while also improving search engine optimization.

Headings should not be empty

1 element

Screen readers announce headings to help users navigate page structure. Empty headings confuse users and prevent them from understanding the page's organization. Headings should only be used to convey structure, not for visual styling, and must contain accessible text that screen readers can announce.

Inline text spacing must be adjustable with custom stylesheets

5 elements

Single-spaced text makes it difficult for people with cognitive disabilities to track lines while reading. Providing line spacing between 1.5 to 2 helps these users start a new line more easily after finishing the previous one.

Interactive controls must not be nested

8 elements

Nested interactive elements create empty tab stops where screen readers remain silent. When users tab to a focusable element inside another interactive control, they receive no information about its name, role, or state, creating a confusing and broken navigation experience.

Interactive elements must have a visible focus indicator

50 elements

Sighted keyboard users rely on a visible focus indicator to know where they are on the page. When focus styles are missing, too subtle, or have insufficient contrast against the surrounding colors, users cannot tell which element will respond when they press Enter or Space, making keyboard navigation slow and error-prone. This especially affects people with motor impairments who cannot use a mouse and people with low vision who need clear, high-contrast indicators.

Landmarks should have a unique role or role/label/title (i.e. accessible name) combination
