Accessibility Issues
The cat's guide to making your site work for everyone — keyboard users, screen readers, and people with low vision.
The cat checks whether everyone can use your site — including people who navigate with a keyboard, use screen readers, or have low vision. These fixes often have the biggest paw impact.
- Decorative SVG IssuesYour decorative icons and graphics are being narrated by screen readers like unnecessary commentary. Here's how to silence them.
- Deprecated HTML ElementsYou're using HTML elements that were retired years ago. Like building with asbestos — it works, but you really shouldn't.
- Keyboard Inaccessible ElementsSome parts of your site can only be reached with a mouse. Keyboard users are locked out. Here's how to open the door.
- Low Color ContrastYour text blends into the background like camouflage. Here's how to make sure everyone can actually read your site.
- Missing Alt Text on ImagesYour images are invisible to screen readers. Alt text is how you describe what's in the picture — and the cat insists on it.
- Missing ARIA LabelsYour buttons and links have no accessible names — screen readers just say 'button' with no context. Time to label things.
- Missing Form LabelsYour form inputs have no labels — screen readers see blank fields with no instructions. Here's how to fix it properly.
- Missing or Broken Heading HierarchyYour headings skip levels or are missing entirely. Screen readers use them like a table of contents — and yours is a mess.
- Missing Language AttributeYour HTML doesn't declare what language it's in. Screen readers are guessing — and guessing badly.
- Missing Required Field IndicatorsYour form doesn't tell visitors which fields are mandatory. They submit, get errors, and rage-quit. Mark required fields properly.
- Missing Skip-to-Content LinkYour keyboard users are forced to Tab through your entire nav bar on every single page. Here's the 2-minute fix.
- No Reduced Motion FallbackYour animations have no off switch. Some visitors get dizzy, nauseous, or worse. Here's how to respect their preferences.
- Screen Reader IssuesSomeone is reading your site aloud — badly. Here's how to make sure screen readers tell the right story.
- Stateful Controls Missing ARIA StatesYour toggles and tabs don't announce whether they're on or off. Screen reader users are flipping switches in the dark.
