CriticalCertain ARIA roles must contain particular children2 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.
Failing Elements
<div class="edTN0LW2xwBpdp3xhmgn" role="row" aria-rowindex="1" style="height: calc(100% + 0px);"></div>
Fix any of the following:
- Required ARIA children role not present: cell, columnheader, gridcell, rowheader
<div class="edTN0LW2xwBpdp3xhmgn" role="row" aria-rowindex="1" style="height: calc(100% + 0px);"></div>
Fix any of the following:
- Required ARIA children role not present: cell, columnheader, gridcell, rowheader
CriticalCertain ARIA roles must be contained by particular parents40 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.

SeriousFocusing an element must not trigger an unexpected change of context5 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.

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.

ModerateHeading levels should only increase by one1 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.
Failing Elements

Fix any of the following:
- Heading order invalid
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.

MinorElements marked as presentational should be consistently ignored40 elements
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.

<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.

<html> element must have a valid value for the lang attribute1 element

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.

Inline text spacing must be adjustable with custom stylesheets63 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 nested146 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 indicator41 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) combination8 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.

Links must have discernible text121 elements
Keyboard users and screen reader users can only interact with links that have accessible names and can receive focus. Without proper names, users don't know where links lead. Without keyboard focus, users who cannot use a mouse cannot activate the links at all.

Main landmark should not be contained in another landmark1 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 blocks1 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.

Page should contain a level-one heading1 element

Required ARIA attributes must be provided271 elements

The skip-link target should exist and be focusable1 element
Skip links allow keyboard users to bypass repetitive navigation and jump directly to main content. Without skip links, users must tab through potentially hundreds of navigation links on every page, which is time-consuming and can cause physical pain for users with motor limitations.

Users should be able to zoom and scale the text up to 500%1 element
The user-scalable="no" and restrictive maximum-scale parameters prevent people with low vision from zooming to read content. Users who rely on browser zoom to enlarge text are blocked from accessing content at a readable size, violating their need to scale pages up to 5x zoom.
