CriticalEach a element must contain text or an img with an alt attribute. WCAG 2.1 A F89 Section 508 (2017) A F89 1 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
https://property.liverpool.gov.uk/properties-and-land/st-johns-market-vacant-units/Line 268
CriticalFigures and images in PDF documents should have non blank ALT text, except for decorative images which should be marked as artifacts. WCAG 2.1 A F65 Section 508 (2017) A F65 4 pages
Each image should have an ALT attribute describing the picture, which screen readers can read aloud. See PDF Techniques for WCAG: Text Alternatives.

PDF graphics with missing ALT attributes cause problems in:

  • NVDA 2019 with IE11 and Acrobat Reader: the image is ignored.
  • JAWS 2019 with IE11 and Acrobat Reader: a meaningless label like 'eleven graphic' is voiced.
  • VoiceOver macOS with Safari: a meaningless label like 'image' is voiced.
  • VoiceOver iOS with Safari: the image is ignored.

In HTML add a lang attribute containing a language code to the html tag, and in PDF set the language using Document Properties in Acrobat. This allows screen readers to pronounce words correctly.

Criticaliframe and frame elements must have a title attribute. WCAG 2.1 A 2.4.1 Section 508 (2017) A 2.4.1 7 pages
Add a title attribute or ARIA label to each iframe and frame element (e.g. title='Main Content'). Without a title some screen readers read out the frame filename, which is usually meaningless.

Impact on users:

  • VoiceOver macOS 10.14 Safari 13.0 macOS 10.14.6 Reading: Meaningless frame title read out.
  • VoiceOver macOS 10.13 Safari 12.1 macOS 10.13.6 Reading: Meaningless frame title read out.
  • VoiceOver macOS 10.12 Safari 10.1.2 macOS 10.12.6 Reading: Meaningless frame title read out.
  • VoiceOver macOS 10.11 Safari 9.1.2 macOS 10.11.6 Reading: Meaningless frame title like 'frame zero' read out.

Very Important Do not use the meta viewport tag to disable zoom. WCAG 2.1 AA 1.4.4 Section 508 (2017) AA 1.4.4 8 pages
Setting user-scalable=no or maximum-scale to less than 2.0 prevents zooming small text to make it readable. Note that iOS 10+ ignores this setting.

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:
2.85 with color: rgb(230,126,34); background-color: rgb(255,255,255); font-size: 21.60pt; font-weight: 700.00;

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 4 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.

Either allow the user to zoom content using pinch-zoom by removing user-scalable=no from the meta viewport tag (easiest), or allow the user to increase text size by using relative units like em and not absolute units like px and pt
