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

<select id="viBnbPaesaggio">; <select id="viBnbEsperienza">

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" id="viNBCosaInput">; <input type="text" id="viBnbDoveInput">

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).

Landmark Structure
7 landmarks
REVIEW
7 landmarks
Info::

Info::
2 <nav> landmark(s) found
Warning::
1 of 2 <nav> elements are unlabeled
Multiple navigations need aria-label to distinguish them for screen readers.
Info::
Skip navigation link present
Warning::
Skip link target(s) don't exist on page: #viMain
The skip-link anchor (e.g., `href="#main"`) points at an ID that has no corresponding element on the page. Activating the link does nothing -- a silent WCAG 2.4.1 failure that the visual link presence hides. Add `id="main"` (or whichever matches the href) to the target landmark.
Info::
Search landmark present
Page Structure — as a screen reader sees it
BANNER header NAV "Main navigation" SEARCH MAIN CONTENTINFO footer

Multiple navigations need aria-label to distinguish them for screen readers.

Why this matters

Some <nav> elements lack aria-label — screen-reader users hear 'navigation' multiple times with no way to distinguish them.

Learn more ▾

When a page has multiple <nav> regions (primary, footer, breadcrumb), each needs aria-label or aria-labelledby. AT users navigate by landmark; identical 'navigation' announcements force them to enter each one to discover purpose.

Source: WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices

The skip-link anchor (e.g., `href="#main"`) points at an ID that has no corresponding element on the page. Activating the link does nothing -- a silent WCAG 2.4.1 failure that the visual link presence hides. Add `id="main"` (or whichever matches the href) to the target landmark.

Why this matters

Skip link points at an ID that doesn't exist on the page. The link looks fine visually but does nothing when activated -- silent WCAG 2.4.1 failure.

Learn more ▾

Find the target landmark (typically <main> or the first <h1>) and add `id="..."` matching the skip link's href fragment. Test by tabbing to the skip link and pressing Enter -- focus should jump to the target.

Mobile-Readable Font Sizes
93% of visible text renders at >= 12 CSS px (9 below threshold)
REVIEW
93% of visible text renders at >= 12 CSS px (9 below threshold)
Info::
9 text node(s) render below 12 CSS pixels on mobile
Mobile browsers default the root font-size to 16 px; text below ~ 12 px (75% of root) is hard to read without zooming. WCAG 1.4.4 (Resize Text) requires the page to support 200% zoom without loss of functionality -- which most layouts handle, but small base text still costs readability and conversion. Audit which selectors set sizes below 12 px (often footers, fine print, table cells) and bump them to 14-16 px or use rem units that scale with user preferences. Examples: <div> 11.0px ("Which landscape?"); <span> 11.0px ("Independent archive"); <span> 10.0px ("Where in Italy"); <span> 10.0px ("Landscape"); <span> 10.0px ("Experience").

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

Focusable descendents within an `[aria-hidden="true"]` element prevent those interactive elements from being available to users of assistive technologies like screen readers. Learn how `aria-hidden` affects focusable elements.

Why this matters

Informational: a Permissions-Policy directive showing feature -> allowed origins.

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.

Contrast

Low-contrast text is difficult or impossible for many users to read. Learn how to provide sufficient color contrast.

All checks on this page are automated. Results are estimates - run targeted manual reviews when the score affects a release decision.
