CriticalElements must only use supported ARIA attributes1 element
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.
Failing Elements
<div aria-pressed="false">
Fix all of the following:
- ARIA attribute is not allowed: aria-pressed="false"
CriticalImages must have alternative text3 elements
Screen readers cannot translate images into text without alt attributes. Alternative text is essential for blind users and beneficial for users with low vision or color blindness, providing the same information that sighted users get from viewing the image.
Failing Elements

Fix any of the following:
- Element does not have an alt attribute
- aria-label attribute does not exist or is empty
- aria-labelledby attribute does not exist, references elements that do not exist or references elements that are empty
- Element has no title attribute
- Element's default semantics were not overridden with role="none" or role="presentation"

- aria-label attribute does not exist or is empty
- aria-labelledby attribute does not exist, references elements that do not exist or references elements that are empty
- Element has no title attribute
- Element's default semantics were not overridden with role="none" or role="presentation"
<img class="icon" src="https://pss.bdstatic.com/static/superman/img/qrcode/[email protected]">
Fix any of the following:
- Element does not have an alt attribute
- aria-label attribute does not exist or is empty
- aria-labelledby attribute does not exist, references elements that do not exist or references elements that are empty
- Element has no title attribute
- Element's default semantics were not overridden with role="none" or role="presentation"
SeriousElements must meet minimum color contrast ratio thresholds1 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.
Failing Elements

- Element has insufficient color contrast of 4.34 (foreground color: #ffffff, background color: #4e6ef2, font size: 9.8pt (13px), font weight: normal). Expected contrast ratio of 4.5:1
Serious<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.
Failing Elements
<html>
Fix any of the following:
- The <html> element does not have a lang attribute
SeriousContent must reflow without two-dimensional scrolling38 elements
People who zoom to 400% or use a narrow viewport must be able to scroll in one direction only. A layout that still requires horizontal scrolling at 320 CSS pixels forces magnified readers to pan left and right line by line, which makes the page close to unusable.

Showing first 10 of 38 failing elements.
SeriousText must remain readable when spacing is increased4 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.
Failing Elements
<span class="title-content-index c-index-single c-index-single-..." style="display: ;">

ModerateDocument should have one main landmark1 element
Every page should have exactly one main landmark that identifies the primary content. Without a main landmark, screen reader users must navigate through all content linearly to find what they're looking for, making page navigation difficult and time-consuming.
Failing Elements
<html>
Fix all of the following:
- Document does not have a main landmark
ModeratePage should contain a level-one heading1 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.
Failing Elements
<html>
Fix all of the following:
- Page must have a level-one heading
ModerateAll page content should be contained by landmarks36 elements
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.

<li> elements must be contained in a <ul> or <ol>10 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.

<ul> and <ol> must only directly contain <li>, <script> or <template> elements1 element
Lists must contain only li elements as direct children (besides non-content elements like script or style). When other content elements appear within ul or ol tags, screen readers cannot properly inform users they're listening to list items, breaking the expected list navigation experience.
Audit Elements
<ul class="s-hotsearch-content" id="hotsearch-content-wrapper">
Active <area> elements must have alternative text1 element
Screen readers cannot translate images into words without alt text. When image maps lack alternative text, screen readers typically announce unhelpful filenames instead, leaving users unable to understand the image's purpose or content.

Alternative text of images should not be repeated as text4 elements
Duplicating alternative text adjacent to an image or link forces screen readers to announce the same information twice. This redundancy is unnecessary and confusing, especially when image buttons repeat their labels in nearby text.

ARIA attributes must be used as specified for the element's role2 elements
Using ARIA attributes where they're not expected causes unpredictable behavior in assistive technologies. Following the ARIA specification ensures that screen readers and other tools can properly interpret and communicate your content's meaning to people with disabilities.
Audit Elements

ARIA attributes must conform to valid names2 elements
Misspelled or non-existent ARIA attributes cannot perform their intended accessibility function. Assistive technologies rely on correctly spelled, current ARIA attributes to convey proper user interface behaviors and structural information to people with disabilities.
Audit Elements

ARIA attributes must conform to valid values2 elements
ARIA attributes must contain correctly spelled values that match the attribute's expected options. Invalid values prevent the accessibility feature from working, making content inaccessible to assistive technology users who depend on these attributes for navigation and interaction.
Audit Elements

aria-hidden="true" must not be present on the document body1 element
Setting <body aria-hidden="true" hides all page content from assistive technologies while leaving it visible on screen. This creates a confusing experience where keyboard users can still tab to elements, but screen readers remain completely silent, providing no information about what's focused.
Audit Elements
<body class="cos-pc pc-home-index" ssr="n" style="">
autocomplete attribute must be used correctly1 element
Missing or incorrect autocomplete values make forms inaccessible to screen reader users. Screen readers cannot provide adequate information about form fields without proper autocomplete attributes, preventing users from understanding what information is required and how to complete forms correctly.
Audit Elements

Buttons must have discernible text1 element
Screen reader users cannot determine the purpose of buttons without an accessible name. Without a name, users don't know what action the button will perform when activated.
Audit Elements
<button id="chat-submit-button"> 百度一下 </button>
Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation1 element
The page title is the first thing screen reader users hear when loading a page. Without a descriptive, unique title, users must read through the entire page to understand its contents and purpose, wasting valuable time on every page visit.
Audit Elements
<html>
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.

Form elements must have labels1 element
Form labels are essential for screen reader users to understand what information each field requires. Without proper labels, screen readers cannot identify input expectations, fields don't receive focus when announced, and users with motor impairments lose the benefit of larger clickable areas that labels provide.
Audit Elements
<textarea id="chat-textarea" class="chat-input-textarea chat-input-scroll-style" data-ai-placeholder="一生中一定要做的十件事是什么？" data-normal-placeholder="《早春晴朗》前任现任修罗场" rows="1" style="height: 28px;" autocomplete="off" placeholder="《早春晴朗》前任现任修罗场"></textarea>
Form elements should have a visible label1 element
The title and aria-describedby attributes provide supplementary hints, not labels. Screen readers treat these as advisory information rather than true labels, which prevents them from properly conveying the form element's purpose. Form fields need proper labels that can be programmatically determined.
Audit Elements
<textarea id="chat-textarea" class="chat-input-textarea chat-input-scroll-style" data-ai-placeholder="一生中一定要做的十件事是什么？" data-normal-placeholder="《早春晴朗》前任现任修罗场" rows="1" style="height: 28px;" autocomplete="off" placeholder="《早春晴朗》前任现任修罗场"></textarea>
Form field must not have multiple label elements1 element
Multiple labels on the same form field cause inconsistent behavior across screen reader and browser combinations. Some will read the first label, others the last, and some will read both, creating confusion about what information the field requires.

Interactive elements must have a visible focus indicator20 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.
