5 landmarks
Critical::
No <main> landmark found
Screen reader users cannot quickly navigate to the primary content. Wrap your main content in <main>.
Info::
4 <nav> landmark(s) found
Warning::
4 of 4 <nav> elements are unlabeled
Multiple navigations need aria-label to distinguish them for screen readers.
Info::
No banner (header) landmark
Warning::
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
Screen reader users cannot quickly navigate to the primary content. Wrap your main content in <main>.
Why this matters
Without a <main> landmark, screen-reader users can't skip past the navigation to the page content — every page starts with re-reading the menu.
Learn more ▾ ▴
The <main> element marks the page's primary content area. Assistive tech offers a 'jump to main' shortcut — but only if <main> exists. Without it, every page navigation forces re-reading the header. Wrap your primary content in a single <main>.
Source: WAI-ARIA / WCAG 2.4.1
Multiple navigations need aria-label to distinguish them for screen readers.
Why this matters
Some <nav> elements lack aria-label — screen-reader users hear 'navigation' multiple times with no way to distinguish them.
Learn more ▾ ▴
When a page has multiple <nav> regions (primary, footer, breadcrumb), each needs aria-label or aria-labelledby. AT users navigate by landmark; identical 'navigation' announcements force them to enter each one to discover purpose.
Source: WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices
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.

Every page should have one H1 that describes the page content.
Why this matters
No H1 means screen-reader users can't identify the page's primary topic, and Google's content-extraction degrades.
Learn more ▾ ▴
The H1 is the document title for assistive tech and a strong signal to search engines about page topic. Pages without one force screen readers to fall back to the <title> attribute or page chrome. Add a single H1 that names the page's primary subject.

Skipping heading levels breaks the document outline. Screen readers may interpret missing levels as structural errors.
Why this matters
Skipping heading levels breaks the document outline — screen-reader users lose track of section nesting.
Learn more ▾ ▴
Screen reader users navigate by jumping between headings (H1 → H2 → H3). Skipping (H1 → H3) breaks the sense of hierarchy. Use sequential levels even if you don't like the default styling — restyle with CSS instead. WCAG 1.3.1 (Info and Relationships) treats this as an A failure.

Images without alt text are invisible to screen readers.
Why this matters
Each image without alt text is a WCAG 1.1.1 failure — invisible to screen-reader users, lost from Google Image Search.
Learn more ▾ ▴
WCAG 2.1 Level A requires text alternatives for non-decorative images. Empty alt='' is fine for decorative; meaningful images need descriptive text. Common fixes: CMS audit + bulk add, build-time linter (alt-text-required ESLint rule), CI gate on Lighthouse a11y score.
Source: WCAG 2.1 SC 1.1.1 / WebAIM Million Report
An image inside a link with no alt creates an empty link.
Why this matters
Image-only links with no alt create empty links — screen-reader users hear 'link' with no destination context.
Learn more ▾ ▴
An <a><img></a> with no img alt is the worst-case for accessibility: AT announces the link but can't describe where it goes. Either add alt to the image OR add aria-label to the link.

Out-of-context lists of links read by AT (one navigation pattern) become useless when every link says 'click here'. Use the destination's title or topic as anchor text. Doubles as SEO win — Google passes anchor-text relevance to the destination.

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

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.

WCAG 2.5.5 (Level AAA) requires interactive targets to be at least 44x44 CSS pixels; WCAG 2.5.8 (Level AA, added in 2.2) requires 24x24 minimum. Failing targets cause mis-taps for users with motor impairments, large fingers, or shaky hands -- and are a major bounce-rate driver on mobile commerce flows. Lighthouse measures rendered rects + adjacent-element spacing; the failing list is in the Lighthouse 'tap-targets' audit detail panel.

Mobile-Readable Font Sizes
98% of visible text renders at >= 12 CSS px (1 below threshold)
98% of visible text renders at >= 12 CSS px (1 below threshold)
Info::
1 text node(s) render below 12 CSS pixels on mobile
Mobile browsers default the root font-size to 16 px; text below ~ 12 px (75% of root) is hard to read without zooming. WCAG 1.4.4 (Resize Text) requires the page to support 200% zoom without loss of functionality -- which most layouts handle, but small base text still costs readability and conversion. Audit which selectors set sizes below 12 px (often footers, fine print, table cells) and bump them to 14-16 px or use rem units that scale with user preferences. Examples: <a> 10.0px ("+91 (11) 35656500").

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.

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.

Heading Text Quality
2 heading-text-quality issue(s) detected
2 heading-text-quality issue(s) detected
Warning::
2 heading(s) are over 120 characters -- likely a misformatted paragraph
Headings beyond 120 characters are almost always full sentences or paragraphs that received heading semantics by mistake (e.g., a CMS editor selected the wrong block type, or a template wrapped a body paragraph in `<h2>`). Screen readers will announce these as "heading" and read the entire paragraph at heading prosody. Affected:
- H4: 182 chars
- H4: 172 chars
Got: 2 >120-char heading(s)
Info::
2 heading(s) are all-uppercase (excluding short acronyms)
Headings rendered in all-uppercase are a styling choice that should be done via CSS (`text-transform: uppercase`), not by typing the text in caps. Capitalized text is read letter-by-letter by some screen readers (e.g., "H-E-L-L-O W-O-R-L-D" instead of "hello world"). It's also a soft signal of CMS-migration artifacts where the original lowercase intent was lost.
Got: 2 all-caps heading(s)

Why this matters
Placeholder-only labels disappear when the user starts typing — they must remember what the field was for.

Placeholders are NOT labels. They vanish on input, fail color contrast checks (most are gray), and don't satisfy WCAG SC 3.3.2. Always use a real <label> alongside (or aria-labelledby).

Without `theme-color`, Android Chrome's status bar and iOS Safari's toolbar fall back to a generic gray. Adding a single hex color in `<meta name="theme-color" content="#0066cc">` tints them to your brand color across all mobile browsers.
