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.

Warning::
Manifest declares display="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).
Info::
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).

Skip link target(s) don't exist on page: #navigation
The skip-link anchor (e.g., `href="#main"`) points at an ID that has no corresponding element on the page. Activating the link does nothing -- a silent WCAG 2.4.1 failure that the visual link presence hides. Add `id="main"` (or whichever matches the href) to the target landmark.
Page Structure — as a screen reader sees it
BANNER header NAV MAIN ASIDE CONTENTINFO footer

The skip-link anchor (e.g., `href="#main"`) points at an ID that has no corresponding element on the page. Activating the link does nothing -- a silent WCAG 2.4.1 failure that the visual link presence hides. Add `id="main"` (or whichever matches the href) to the target landmark.

Why this matters

Skip link points at an ID that doesn't exist on the page. The link looks fine visually but does nothing when activated -- silent WCAG 2.4.1 failure.

Learn more

Find the target landmark (typically <main> or the first <h1>) and add `id="..."` matching the skip link's href fragment. Test by tabbing to the skip link and pressing Enter -- focus should jump to the target.

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

Some ARIA parent roles must contain specific child roles to perform their intended accessibility functions. Learn more about roles and required children elements.

Why this matters

Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.

Failing Elements
News Opinion Sport Culture Lifestyle Search input google-search Search Support … div#header-expanded-menu > div.dcr-1srap2j > div.dcr-1ndqjmr > ul.dcr-6sl420

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.

Tables and lists

Screen readers have a specific way of announcing lists. Ensuring proper list structure aids screen reader output. Learn more about proper list structure.
