Why this matters

Image-only links with no alt are unidentifiable to screen-reader users — link's destination is invisible.

Source: WCAG 2.1 SC 2.4.4

Add '(opens in new tab)' to link text or aria-label.

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.

Icon-only buttons need an aria-label so screen readers can announce them.

button.notification-center__button (#528 on page); button.dd-widget-input-send-button (#569 on page)

Why this matters

Buttons with no accessible text (icon-only, no aria-label) can't be activated by voice control or understood by screen readers.

REVIEW

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.

ARIA

When an element doesn't have an accessible name, screen readers announce it with a generic name, making it unusable for users who rely on screen readers. Learn how to make command elements more accessible.

Why this matters

Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.

Failing Elements
body.uk > div.body-wrap > div.advertisement > div.ad-leaderboard-flex__dismiss `body.uk > div.body-wrap > div.advertisement > div.ad-leaderboard-flex__dismiss`

These are opportunities to improve the usage of ARIA in your application which may enhance the experience for users of assistive technology, like a screen reader.

Names and labels

When a button doesn't have an accessible name, screen readers announce it as "button", making it unusable for users who rely on screen readers. Learn how to make buttons more accessible.

Why this matters

Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.

Failing Elements
div.nav__content > div.nav__left > div.notification-center > button.notification-center__button `div.nav__content > div.nav__left > div.notification-center > button.notification-center__button`
div.body-wrap > div.dd-widget-wrapper > div.dd-widget-input-wrapper > button.dd-widget-input-send-button `div.body-wrap > div.dd-widget-wrapper > div.dd-widget-input-wrapper > button.dd-widget-input-send-button`

Labels ensure that form controls are announced properly by assistive technologies, like screen readers. Learn more about form element labels.

Why this matters

Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.

Failing Elements
div.dd-widget-wrapper > div.dd-widget-input-wrapper > div.dd-widget-input-field > input.dd-widget-input-field-textarea `div.dd-widget-wrapper > div.dd-widget-input-wrapper > div.dd-widget-input-field > input.dd-widget-input-field-textarea`

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.

Contrast

Low-contrast text is difficult or impossible for many users to read. Learn how to provide sufficient color contrast.

Why this matters

Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.

Failing Elements
