CriticalEach a element must contain text or an img with an alt attribute. WCAG 2.1 A F89 Section 508 (2017) A F89 5 pages

A link name allows screen readers to voice what the links does. If there is no link text or the `alt` text is blank, screen readers have nothing to read, so read out the URL instead. To add a name do one of the following:

  • Add text between the a element start and end tags
  • Add an aria-label attribute
  • Add an aria-labelledby attribute
  • Add an img alt attribute if the link contains an img element

Very ImportantEnsure that text and background colors have enough contrast. WCAG 2.1 AA 1.4.3 Section 508 (2017) AA 1.4.3 1 pages

Some users find it hard to read light gray text on a white background, dark gray text on a black background and white text on a red background.

  • The contrast ratio should be 3.0 or more for 18 point text, or larger
  • The contrast ratio should be 3.0 or more for 14 point bold text, or larger
  • The contrast ratio should be 4.5 or more for all other text
The text color to background color contrast ratio is:
1.65 with color: rgb(7,81,131); background-color: rgb(45,45,45); font-size: 10.50pt; font-weight: 500.00;

Very ImportantThe CSS outline or border style on this element makes it difficult or impossible to see the dotted link focus outline. WCAG 2.1 AA F78 Section 508 (2017) AA F78 93 pages
Change the style to avoid obscuring the focus outline around focusable elements.

Using a border or outline style that obscures the focus ring causes problems for keyboard-only users in:

  • Chrome (obscures the focus indicator on links, buttons, dropdowns and range controls)
  • Firefox (obscures the focus indicator on links)
  • Internet Explorer (obscures the focus indicator on links, buttons and range controls)
Internet Explorer does not support the `outline-offset:` property, so using this does not reliably avoid focus outline overlap.

ImportantEnsure that text and background colors have a 7:1 contrast ratio. WCAG 2.1 AAA 1.4.6 1 pages

Some users find it hard to read light gray text on a white background, dark gray text on a black background and white text on a red background.

Note: The default link color in IE11 has poor contrast on a white background. Fix by specifying a:link and a:visited colors in CSS.

  • The contrast ratio should be 4.5 or more for 18 point text, or larger
  • The contrast ratio should be 4.5 or more for 14 point bold text, or larger
  • The contrast ratio should be 7.0 or more for all other text
The text color to background color contrast ratio is:
5.74 with color: rgb(102,102,102); background-color: rgb(255,255,255); font-size: 10.50pt; font-weight: 500.00;
