Language & i18n

Action

Missing <html lang>

FIX

Missing <html lang>

<html lang> attribute is missing

The lang attribute on <html> is required for screen readers and WCAG 3.1.1 compliance.

<html lang> value is valid

No Content-Language HTTP header

Language signals are consistent

Page Language ——Content-Language Header ——Consistent Yes

The lang attribute on <html> is required for screen readers and WCAG 3.1.1 compliance.

Why this matters

Without a lang attribute, screen readers mispronounce every word on the page.

An HTML element without lang="..." causes screen readers to fall back to the user's default voice — a French page read in English sounds like nonsense. Setting lang on the <html> element is a one-character fix that lets every assistive tool pronounce content correctly.

Viewport Configuration

Action

No viewport meta tag

FIX

No viewport meta tag

No viewport meta tag found

Without a viewport meta tag, the page will not render correctly on mobile devices.

Expected: width=device-width, initial-scale=1

Viewport Configuration Missing

No viewport meta tag found. Mobile devices will render at desktop width.

Suggested viewport tag <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

Without a viewport meta tag, the page will not render correctly on mobile devices.

Why this matters

No viewport meta means mobile browsers render at desktop width and shrink — unusable on phones, fails WCAG reflow.

Learn more ▾

Mobile browsers default to a 980px viewport for legacy desktop layouts. Setting `<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">` opts into responsive rendering. Without it, the page renders zoomed out and users have to pinch-zoom to interact.
