Page Structure — as a screen reader sees it
BANNER header NAV "extras menu" MAIN ASIDE CONTENTINFO footer

A page should have only one <main> landmark.

Why this matters

Multiple <main> elements violate the spec — there must be exactly one per page.

Learn more

HTML5 spec: 'authors must not include more than one main element' visible to AT at the same time. Multiple <main>s confuse AT and break the 'jump to main content' shortcut. Refactor to a single <main> with nested <section>/<article>.

Source: HTML5 spec

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.

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.

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.

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.

Navigation

Properly ordered headings that do not skip levels convey the semantic structure of the page, making it easier to navigate and understand when using assistive technologies. Learn more about heading order.

Names and labels

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

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.

Heading Text Quality
1 heading-text-quality issue(s) detected
PASS
1 heading-text-quality issue(s) detected
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.

Info::
Browser-chrome `theme-color` meta tag present
The page sets `<meta name="theme-color" content="...">`, which Android Chrome uses to tint the status bar and iOS Safari uses for the toolbar background. Brand polish that costs nothing and Just Works.
Info::
iOS auto-link for phone numbers disabled (`format-detection: telephone=no`)
The page sets `<meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no">`, which prevents iOS Safari from auto-converting phone-number-shaped strings into clickable `tel:` links. Common reason: the auto-detection rewrites mid-paragraph DOM and breaks CSS selectors / JS that depended on the specific text. If you want clickable phone numbers, declare them with explicit `<a href="tel:+1234567890">` and keep auto-detection disabled.
