What this issue means

Fixes

Use `:focus-visible` styles with sufficient contrast. Avoid `outline: none` unless you supply a custom ring.

How to fix on WordPress

In WordPress, fix the underlying theme or block output: child themes, block patterns, or plugin markup. Re-scan after updates—page builders often regress heading order or button names.

How to fix

Use :focus-visible with a high-contrast ring or offset box.

Never remove outlines unless you replace them with an equally clear indicator.
