CriticalImages must have alternative text1 element
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"
SeriousElements must have their visible text as part of their accessible name3 elements
Interactive widgets that support name from content must have aria-label or aria-labelledby values that match their visible text. Mismatches confuse voice control users who speak the visible label but activate a different function based on the hidden accessible name.

Serious<svg> elements with an img or image role must have alternative text7 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.

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
<h3><span>Just $13.33/mo</span></h3>
Fix any of the following:
- Heading order invalid
MinorHeadings should not be empty1 element
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.

"role=text" should have no focusable descendants2 elements
Using role="text" prevents VoiceOver from splitting text into multiple phrases, but it also overrides all descendant element roles. If a focusable element exists within role="text", users can tab to it but won't hear its name, role, or value, creating an empty and confusing tab stop.

<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-NZ" data-theme="max" dir="ltr" class="spacer-tokens border-tokens font-english-like-slate3">
<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

All page content should be contained by landmarks352 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.

Interactive elements must have a visible focus indicator26 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.
