To fix a page with no titles, you will need to add title elements. First, determine if the title is missing because you left the page or post title field blank in the editor. If so, fill it in. If a title is filled in and visible on the backend then the code in the "head" section of your web page needs to be edited to include a title tag or meta tag.
To fix a Missing Language Declaration error, you will need to edit your theme files to add the missing language attribute to the HTML tag at the very top of your website header. If you're using a theme that receives updates, then you'll need to make the change in a child theme to ensure the fix does not get overwritten when you next update your theme.

To resolve this warning, you need to visit the front end of your website and fully ensure that any videos on the page or post are accessible.

To fix empty or missing form label errors, you'll need to determine how the field and form were created and then either add text to your existing field label or add field labels if they are missing completely.
To fix an empty link error, you will need to find the link that is being flagged and add descriptive text to it. You will need to either: add text content within an empty anchor link element or, if your link contains an SVG or Webfont icon, hide that element with ARIA hidden element and add an aria-label attribute to the anchor link tag or screen reader text.
To fix a missing iFrame title, you will need to add a title or an ARIA label attribute to the iframe tag. The attribute should accurately describe the contents of the iFrame.
If a page or post has been flagged as having a grade-level readability score over ninth grade, you can either ensure that the text on the flagged web page has been simplified and scored below a ninth-grade reading level, or keep the original text, and provide a simplified summary.
