Serious<dt> and <dd> elements must be contained by a <dl>6 elements
Definition list items must follow a specific hierarchy: dl as parent, with alternating dt (term) and dd (description) children. Without this proper structure, the list becomes invalid and screen readers cannot inform users they're listening to a list or convey the relationships between terms and their definitions.

<html> element must have a lang attribute1 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.
Audit Elements
<html lang="en" dir="ltr" class="js-enabled" style="--100vh: 800px;">
<html> element must have a valid value for the lang attribute1 element
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.
Audit Elements
<html lang="en" dir="ltr" class="js-enabled" style="--100vh: 800px;">
<li> elements must be contained in a <ul> or <ol>43 elements
Lists require proper semantic hierarchy with ul or ol parent elements and li child elements. This structure allows screen readers to announce when users enter a list, how many items it contains, and which item they're currently on, providing essential context for understanding the content.

<svg> elements with an img role must have alternative text5 elements
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.

Elements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored1 element
Elements with role="none" or role="presentation" should be removed from the accessibility tree. Adding global ARIA attributes or making these elements focusable prevents their removal, leaving them accessible to screen readers when they should be ignored, creating unexpected and confusing behavior.

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.
