CriticalCertain ARIA roles must contain particular children6 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.

ModerateZooming and scaling must not be disabled1 element
Setting user-scalable="no" or maximum-scale less than 2 prevents people with low vision from zooming to read content. Users who enlarge text in their browsers are blocked from making content readable, violating accessibility guidelines that require supporting at least 200% zoom.
Failing Elements
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1">
Fix any of the following:
- maximum-scale on <meta> tag disables zooming on mobile devices
ModerateAll page content should be contained by landmarks2 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.

Passed Audits
<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 class="encore-dark-theme encore-layout-themes no-focus-outline spotify__os--is-linux spotify__container--is-web" lang="en" dir="ltr">
<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.

<svg> elements with an img role must have alternative text1 element
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 role should be appropriate for the element64 elements
Invalid ARIA role and HTML element combinations can break accessibility for entire sections of your application.

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 zero7 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.

Form elements must have labels4 elements
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.

Form elements should have a visible label4 elements
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.

Heading levels should only increase by one1 element
