470 links and buttons have descriptive text

Generic link text like 'click here' doesn't describe the destination.

/ ("More"); /register/ ("here"); /register/ ("here"); /register/ ("here"); /register/ ("here"); /register/ ("here"); /register/ ("here"); /register/ ("here"); /register/ ("here"); /register/ ("here") (+26 more)

Why this matters

Generic anchor text ('click here', 'read more', 'learn more') tells screen readers and search engines nothing about the destination.

Learn more ▾

Out-of-context lists of links read by AT (one navigation pattern) become useless when every link says 'click here'. Use the destination's title or topic as anchor text. Doubles as SEO win — Google passes anchor-text relevance to the destination.

Icon-only buttons need an aria-label so screen readers can announce them.

button.popover__trigger (#1176 on page); button.popover__content__close (#1187 on page); button.popover__trigger (#1236 on page); button.popover__content__close (#1247 on page); button.popover__trigger (#1277 on page); button.popover__content__close (#1288 on page); button.popover__trigger (#1318 on page); button.popover__content__close (#1329 on page); button.popover__trigger (#1357 on page); button.popover__content__close (#1368 on page) (+61 more)

Why this matters

Buttons with no accessible text (icon-only, no aria-label) can't be activated by voice control or understood by screen readers.

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.

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.

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.
