Fix Common Accessibility Issues

Accessibility Issues (Low Contrast, Missing Alt Text)

  • Problem: Content is difficult to perceive for users with visual impairments or those using screen readers.
  • Why it fails: Excludes users, potential legal issues (WCAG compliance), poor user experience.
  • How to Fix "fix low contrast text" / "add alt text to images":
    • Check Contrast Ratios: Use browser developer tools or online contrast checkers to ensure text meets WCAG AA (4.5:1) or AAA (7:1) contrast requirements against its background. Adjust colors as needed.
    • Write Meaningful Alt Text: For every image that conveys information, add a concise description in the alt attribute. If an image is purely decorative, use an empty alt attribute (alt="").
