Certain ARIA roles must contain particular children

2 elements

ARIA roles missing required child elements cannot perform their intended accessibility functions. Children provide essential context, like how a treeitem relates to its parent container and siblings. Without proper children, assistive technologies cannot convey this structural information to users.

Certain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents

5 elements

ARIA roles with missing required parent elements cannot function as intended for assistive technology users. Parent-child relationships convey essential hierarchy and context, like showing where an item sits within a tree structure. Without proper parents, this critical relationship information is lost.

<html> element must have a lang attribute

SVG images need text alternatives so their information can be accessed through any sensory modality - visual, auditory, or tactile. Text alternatives enable screen readers to convert visual information into speech or braille, support future translation into sign language, and ensure content is accessible regardless of a user's sensory abilities.

ARIA hidden element must not be focusable or contain focusable elements

63 elements

Elements with aria-hidden="true" are removed from the accessibility API but remain keyboard-focusable, creating confusion about their visibility state. When users tab to these hidden elements, screen readers stay silent, leaving users unaware of what they've focused on or why nothing is being announced.

Elements must meet minimum color contrast ratio thresholds

55 elements

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.

Elements should not have tabindex greater than zero

12 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.

Heading levels should only increase by one

9 elements

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

15 elements

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.

IDs used in ARIA and labels must be unique

17 elements

Duplicate IDs break the accessibility of ARIA elements, form labels, and table headers. When IDs are duplicated, assistive technologies and scripts only reference the first instance, causing subsequent elements with the same ID to be ignored or incorrectly associated.

Inline text spacing must be adjustable with custom stylesheets

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

13 elements

Each landmark on a page must have either a unique role or a unique accessible name. Duplicate landmarks confuse screen reader users about which section they're navigating to, making it difficult to efficiently move through the page structure.

lang attribute must have a valid value

Screen readers use language-specific pronunciation libraries that must match the content's language. Invalid language declarations cause screen readers to use the wrong pronunciation library, making content sound confusing or unintelligible, especially for multilingual users who access content in multiple languages.

Main landmark should not be contained in another landmark

1 element

The main landmark must be at the top level and not nested inside other landmarks. This ensures screen reader users can quickly navigate to the primary content without searching through complex hierarchy, making page navigation simpler and more predictable.

Page must have means to bypass repeated blocks

1 element

Keyboard-only users must tab through all navigation and header content before reaching the main content, which can take several minutes and cause physical pain for users with motor limitations. Bypass mechanisms like skip links allow these users to jump directly to main content, saving time and reducing fatigue.

1 element

Screen reader users use keyboard shortcuts to jump directly to the first h1, expecting to land at the main content. Without an h1 or with a misplaced one, users must listen to more of the page to understand its structure, wasting valuable time on every page visit.
