Skip navigation link is missing (WCAG 2.4.1)

Add a skip link as the first focusable element so keyboard users can bypass repeated navigation.

Page Structure — as a screen reader sees it

Add a skip link as the first focusable element so keyboard users can bypass repeated navigation.

Why this matters

Without a skip-nav link, keyboard users tab through every nav item before reaching content — every page, every visit.

Learn more ▾

WCAG 2.4.1 (Bypass Blocks) requires a mechanism to skip past repeated content. The standard implementation is a 'Skip to main content' link that's the first focusable element, visually hidden until focused. Three lines of HTML + four of CSS.

REVIEW

3 PWA signal(s) surfaced

Manifest is missing `display` -- defaults to browser, no PWA UX

When `display` is `browser` (or unset, which is the spec default), the installed app opens in a regular browser tab -- no install prompt, no standalone window, no app-shell experience. The intended values for a PWA are `standalone` (most common; full-screen, no browser chrome) or `fullscreen` (games / immersive apps). `minimal-ui` is a middle ground (basic browser controls but no address bar).

Manifest has no maskable icon

Android 12+ Adaptive Icons crop non-maskable icons to a circle or squircle -- frequently hiding important parts of the logo. Add at least one icon entry with `"purpose": "maskable"` (or `"any maskable"`) and a maskable-aware design (16% safe-zone padding around the inner mark).

Manifest is missing `theme_color`

Without `theme_color`, the install prompt and Android status bar fall back to a generic tint instead of your brand color. Add a hex color (e.g. `"theme_color": "#0066cc"`); for richer support, mirror it via `<meta name="theme-color" content="#0066cc">` so non-installed browsers also pick it up.

Why this matters

Links with target="_blank" without rel="noopener" leak the originating page's window context — security and UX issue.

Learn more ▾

Without rel="noopener", the new tab can navigate the original tab via window.opener (tab-nabbing attack). Modern browsers default to noopener for target=_blank but only since recent versions. Always set rel="noopener noreferrer" explicitly.

These checks highlight opportunities to improve the accessibility of your web app. Automatic detection can only detect a subset of issues and does not guarantee the accessibility of your web app, so manual testing is also encouraged.

Disabling zooming is problematic for users with low vision who rely on screen magnification to properly see the contents of a web page. Learn more about the viewport meta tag.
