Common WordPress accessibility issues
These mirror what our scanner often sees on WordPress installs. Fix at the template or block pattern level so the improvement applies site-wide.
Missing alternative text on images
Images without text alternatives are invisible to many assistive technologies unless they are purely decorative.
Low color contrast
Text that blends into the background is hard to read for people with low vision and in bright sunlight.
Missing form labels
Placeholder text is not a substitute for labels.
Empty buttons
Icon-only buttons need visible text or `aria-label`.
Heading structure problems
Headings create an outline; random levels harm navigation.
Keyboard traps
If focus cannot escape a component, keyboard users are stuck.
Duplicate IDs
IDs must be unique in the DOM.
ARIA mistakes
Use ARIA sparingly; prefer native HTML.
Missing or vague link text
Link purpose should be clear from text alone where possible.
Missing focus indicator
Do not remove outlines without replacing them.
