Accessibility — What Do You Eat That With?
summary
An automated audit of roughly one million web pages found that automated tools detect only about 25% of accessibility issues, with an average of 56.6 errors per page and 97% of pages having at least one error. The talk calls for concrete fixes: use semantic HTML instead of divs-as-buttons, correct tabindex and heading use, preserve visible focus outlines, enforce color-contrast ratios, provide captions and transcripts, disable autoplay, and perform manual testing with assistive technologies such as ChromeVox and Windows Narrator.
