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

<input type="text" name="00NSj000002T3Xe" id="00NSj000002T3Xe">; <input type="text" name="00NSj000002T3Xf" id="00NSj000002T3Xf">; <input type="email" name="Email_Address__c" id="Email_Address__c">; <input type="text" name="phone" id="phone">; <textarea name="description">; <textarea name="g-recaptcha-response" id="g-recaptcha-response">

Why this matters

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

Source: WCAG 2.1 SC 3.3.2

Placeholder text disappears on focus and is not a reliable label.

<input type="text">

Why this matters

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

Learn more ▾

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).

Skip navigation link is missing (WCAG 2.4.1)

Page Structure — as a screen reader sees it
BANNER header NAV 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.

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.

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.

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.container > div.country-selector > div.country-selector-searchbar-container > button.country-selector-searchbutton div.container > div.country-selector > div.country-selector-searchbar-container > button.country-selector-searchbutton

Link text (and alternate text for images, when used as links) that is discernible, unique, and focusable improves the navigation experience for screen reader users. Learn how to make links accessible.

Why this matters

Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.

Failing Elements
div.container > div.country-selector > div.country-selector-top > a.country-selector-close div.container > div.country-selector > div.country-selector-top > a.country-selector-close

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.

Visible text labels that do not match the accessible name can result in a confusing experience for screen reader users. Learn more about accessible names.
