Missing alternative text
31.3% of homepage banners are missing alternative text. Images require alternative text so that screen reader users can understand the image’s content and purpose.
Text with poor contrast
Low contrast is the number one accessibility issue on many websites. Ensure that all text elements have sufficient colour contrast between the text in the foreground and the background colour behind it. The minimum contrast ratio depends on the text size and is 3:1 or 4.5:1 for larger text.
The contrast is very poor
Heading Hierarchy
Empty headings can also be confusing and should be avoided.
More common issues
Missing link text
This linked image is missing alternative text. Links require text that is understandable and can be read correctly by screen readers.
Incorrect table syntax
| My amazing table | |
|---|---|
| Row 1 | I don’t have a heading… |
Tables must have the correct syntax – for example, header cells for all columns – to be readable by screen readers. Eye-Able scans for common errors that make your headings less accessible.
Aria Attributes
Whilst aria attributes are very useful for making your web interface more accessible, it is essential to use the correct syntax and roles.
Buttons
A needs an accessible name so that screen readers can convey its purpose.
Select fields
Select boxes are commonly used in forms and also require alternative text.
Invalid form fields
Links without accessible names
Every link element must have an accessible name or text that describes its purpose. This link is invalid and empty.
Objects without accessible names
Elements that contain multimedia content, such as audio or video, must include screen reader markup.
List item outside a list
A list element must not appear outside a list. It is always part of an ordered <ol> or unordered <ul> list.
Duplicate accesskey attributes
The `accesskey` attribute identifies an element that can be accessed via a specified keyboard shortcut. The specified shortcut must be unique and must not be used for any other element on the current page.
The font size is too small
The font size must not be smaller than 9px.
This text is displayed in a font size of 7px and should be enlarged
Link that looks just like normal text
Inline links must be distinguishable from the surrounding text by means other than colour alone. Links can be highlighted, for example, by underlining the text or using a border. This link is a bad example.
