Missing <html lang>
Warning::
<html lang> attribute is missing
The lang attribute on <html> is required for screen readers and WCAG 3.1.1 compliance.
Info::
No Content-Language HTTP header
Info::
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.
