Remove duplicate modules in JavaScript bundles
Remove large, duplicate JavaScript modules from bundles to reduce unnecessary bytes consumed by network activity.
Avoid serving legacy JavaScript to modern browsers
Polyfills and transforms enable legacy browsers to use new JavaScript features. However, many aren't necessary for modern browsers. For your bundled JavaScript, adopt a modern script deployment strategy using module/nomodule feature detection to reduce the amount of code shipped to modern browsers, while retaining support for legacy browsers.

Interactive controls are keyboard focusable
Custom interactive controls are keyboard focusable and display a focus indicator. Learn how to make custom controls focusable.
Interactive elements indicate their purpose and state
Interactive elements, such as links and buttons, should indicate their state and be distinguishable from non-interactive elements. Learn how to decorate interactive elements with affordance hints.
The page has a logical tab order
Tabbing through the page follows the visual layout. Users cannot focus elements that are offscreen. Learn more about logical tab ordering.
Visual order on the page follows DOM order
DOM order matches the visual order, improving navigation for assistive technology. Learn more about DOM and visual ordering.
User focus is not accidentally trapped in a region
A user can tab into and out of any control or region without accidentally trapping their focus. Learn how to avoid focus traps.
The user's focus is directed to new content added to the page
If new content, such as a dialog, is added to the page, the user's focus is directed to it. Learn how to direct focus to new content.
HTML5 landmark elements are used to improve navigation
Landmark elements (`<main>`, `<nav>`, etc.) are used to improve the keyboard navigation of the page for assistive technology.
Offscreen content is hidden from assistive technology
Offscreen content is hidden with display: none or aria-hidden=true. Learn how to properly hide offscreen content.
Custom controls have associated labels
Custom interactive controls have associated labels, provided by aria-label or aria-labelledby. Learn more about custom controls and labels.
Custom controls have ARIA roles
Custom interactive controls have appropriate ARIA roles. Learn how to add roles to custom controls.

[aria-hidden="true"]

elements do not contain focusable descendentsFocusable descendents within an
[aria-hidden="true"]
element prevent those interactive elements from being available to users of assistive technologies like screen readers. Learn howaria-hidden
affects focusable elements.Buttons have an accessible name
When a button doesn't have an accessible name, screen readers announce it as "button", making it unusable for users who rely on screen readers. Learn how to make buttons more accessible.
Document has a
<title>
elementThe title gives screen reader users an overview of the page, and search engine users rely on it heavily to determine if a page is relevant to their search. Learn more about document titles.

attributes on active, focusable elements are uniqueAll focusable elements must have a unique
id
to ensure that they're visible to assistive technologies. Learn how to fix duplicateid
s.Heading elements appear in a sequentially-descending order
Properly ordered headings that do not skip levels convey the semantic structure of the page, making it easier to navigate and understand when using assistive technologies. Learn more about heading order.
<html>
element has a[lang]
attributeIf a page doesn't specify a
lang
attribute, a screen reader assumes that the page is in the default language that the user chose when setting up the screen reader. If the page isn't actually in the default language, then the screen reader might not announce the page's text correctly. Learn more about thelang
attribute.<html>

attributeSpecifying a valid BCP 47 language helps screen readers announce text properly. Learn how to use the

attribute.Image elements have
[alt]
attributesInformative elements should aim for short, descriptive alternate text. Decorative elements can be ignored with an empty alt attribute. Learn more about the
alt
attribute.Image elements do not have
[alt]
attributes that are redundant text.Informative elements should aim for short, descriptive alternative text. Alternative text that is exactly the same as the text adjacent to the link or image is potentially confusing for screen reader users, because the text will be read twice. Learn more about the
alt
attribute.Input buttons have discernible text.
Adding discernable and accessible text to input buttons may help screen reader users understand the purpose of the input button. Learn more about input buttons.
Form elements have associated labels
Labels ensure that form controls are announced properly by assistive technologies, like screen readers. Learn more about form element labels.
Links are distinguishable without relying on color.
Low-contrast text is difficult or impossible for many users to read. Link text that is discernible improves the experience for users with low vision. Learn how to make links distinguishable.
Links have a discernible name
Link text (and alternate text for images, when used as links) that is discernible, unique, and focusable improves the navigation experience for screen reader users. Learn how to make links accessible.
Lists contain only
<li>
elements and script supporting elements (<script>
and<template>
).Screen readers have a specific way of announcing lists. Ensuring proper list structure aids screen reader output. Learn more about proper list structure.
