Form Accessibility

1 of 4 controls have issues

PASS

1 of 4 controls have issues

1 control(s) without accessible label

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

Got: <textarea name="g-recaptcha-response" id="g-recaptcha-response-100000">

3 control(s) properly labeled

4 controls

3 labeled

0 placeholder only

1 unlabeled

Control	Type	Label	Method
#email	email	Continue with email	for/id
#password	password	Use 8 or more letters, numbers and symbols	for/id
#birthdate	date	Birthdate	for/id
#g-recaptcha-response-100000	textarea	(none)	none

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

Why this matters

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

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.

Lighthouse Accessibility Audits

Score 97/100 — 1 failing, 27 passed

PASS

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.

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.

Why this matters

Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.
