Why this matters

Links with no accessible text (empty <a></a>, image-only no alt, icon-only no aria-label) are unidentifiable to screen readers.

Add '(opens in new tab)' to link text or aria-label.

https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy; https://messenger.com/policy/cookies; https://www.facebook.com/policies/?ref=pf

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.

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

button._8orf (#251 on page); button._8org (#258 on page)

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.

Soft 404 detected

Soft 404: server returns HTTP 200 for non-existent pages

Landmark Structure

Action

4 landmarks

REVIEW

4 landmarks

<main> landmark present

Multiple <main> landmarks (2 found)

A page should have only one <main> landmark.

No <nav> landmark found

Skip navigation link is missing (WCAG 2.4.1)

Add a skip link as the first focusable element so keyboard users can bypass repeated navigation.

Page Structure — as a screen reader sees it

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.

Lighthouse Accessibility Audits

Score 80/100 — 4 failing, 21 passed

REVIEW

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.

ARIA

Some ARIA roles have required attributes that describe the state of the element to screen readers. Learn more about roles and required attributes.

Why this matters

Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.

Failing Elements
Facebook from Meta `div.wbloks_1 > div.wbloks_1 > div.wbloks_1 > img.wbloks_1`

These are opportunities to improve the usage of ARIA in your application which may enhance the experience for users of assistive technology, like a screen reader.

Names and labels

Screen reader users rely on frame titles to describe the contents of frames. Learn more about frame titles.

Why this matters

Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.

Failing Elements
div#root > div._7om2 > div._4g34 > iframe#sem_pixel_iframe `div#root > div._7om2 > div._4g34 > iframe#sem_pixel_iframe`

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.

Internationalization and localization

If a page doesn't specify a `lang` attribute, a screen reader assumes that the page is in the default language that the user chose when setting up the screen reader. If the page isn't actually in the default language, then the screen reader might not announce the page's text correctly. Learn more about the `lang` attribute.

Why this matters

Performance issues directly impact user engagement and conversion rates.

Failing Elements
html.wbloks_11 `html.wbloks_11`

These are opportunities to improve the interpretation of your content by users in different locales.

Best practices

Disabling zooming is problematic for users with low vision who rely on screen magnification to properly see the contents of a web page. Learn more about the viewport meta tag.

Heading Hierarchy

4 headings

PASS

4 headings

Multiple H1 headings (4 found)

A page should have only one H1. Multiple H1s dilute the document outline.

H1 Useful
H1 Social duplicate H1
H1 Expressive duplicate H1
H1 A place for meaningful conversations duplicate H1

A page should have only one H1. Multiple H1s dilute the document outline.

Why this matters

Multiple H1s blur the page's primary topic — screen-reader users and Google both prefer one H1.

Learn more ▾

HTML5's outline algorithm technically allows multiple H1s within sectioning content, but no browser implements it. In practice: one H1 per page. Use H2-H6 for subsections.

Methodology: The top 20 text elements by font size were checked. Background color was sampled from the desktop screenshot using a 5-point pattern. WCAG 2.1 AA requires 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text.
