Buttons must have discernible text

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.

.media-ui-RoundedButton_roundedButton-phoenix-fI40QjV8msE-
<button type="button" class="media-ui-Button_butt..." data-component="rounded-button" title="" name="roundedButton" aria-label="">

Fix any of the following:

  • Element does not have inner text that is visible to screen readers
  • 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 an empty title attribute
  • Element does not have an implicit (wrapped) <label>
  • Element does not have an explicit <label>
  • Element's default semantics were not overridden with role="none" or role="presentation"
Images must have alternative text

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.

Fix any of the following:

  • 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"
Text must remain readable when spacing is increased

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.

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

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.

<html> element must have a lang attribute

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
<html lang="en">
<html> element must have a valid value for the lang attribute

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.

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

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 or image role must have alternative text

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

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 should not have tabindex greater than zero

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 should have a visible label

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.

Frames must have a unique title attribute

Screen reader users navigate frames using a list of frame titles. Duplicate or missing titles make it impossible to distinguish between frames, forcing users to explore each frame's content manually. Unique, descriptive titles enable quick navigation to the correct frame.

Heading levels should only increase by one

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

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.

Interactive elements must have a visible focus indicator

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.
