Form Accessibility

5 of 9 controls have issues
Critical::
5 control(s) without accessible label
Form controls need a <label>, aria-label, or aria-labelledby for screen readers.

Form controls need a <label>, aria-label, or aria-labelledby for screen readers.

<input type="text" name="sl" id="goog-gt-votingInputSrcLang">; <input type="text" name="tl" id="goog-gt-votingInputTrgLang">; <input type="text" name="query" id="goog-gt-votingInputSrcText">; <input type="text" name="gtrans" id="goog-gt-votingInputTrgText">; <input type="text" name="vote" id="goog-gt-votingInputVote">

Why this matters

Form controls without labels — assistive tech announces 'edit text' with no context; users can't complete forms.

Accessibility

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.

Names and labels

Link text (and alternate text for images, when used as links) that is discernible, unique, and focusable improves the navigation experience for screen reader users. Learn how to make links accessible.

Why this matters

Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.

These are opportunities to improve the semantics of the controls in your application. This may enhance the experience for users of assistive technology, like a screen reader.

Best practices

Touch targets with sufficient size and spacing help users who may have difficulty targeting small controls to activate the targets. Learn more about touch targets.
