Link Opens New Window or Tab

Category: Tool Tips Notice Type: Warning WCAG Levels: AAA, A

For every Link Opens New Window or Tab warning that is flagged on your website, it is best to find the linked text and change it to not open a new window or tab. If you really want the link to open in a new window or tab then you need to add both visual and auditory warnings that notify users this will happen. After ensuring that warnings for users are present, you can "Ignore" the warning in Accessibility Checker.

Text Justified

To fix this warning, you will need to remove the justified styling from the specified text elements. To do so, find the text elements that have been flagged, and remove the text justified tag.

Warning icon

ARIA Hidden

Category: Tool Tips Notice Type: Warning WCAG Levels: A

For every ARIA Hidden warning that is flagged on your page, assess the element and determine if it is truly correct to hide the element from assistive technology users. If it is appropriate to hide the element, then you can safely "ignore" the warning. If it is not appropriate to hide the element, then you will need to remove the ARIA hidden attribute from the element's code.

Warning icon

Underlined Text

Category: Tool Tips Notice Type: Warning

To fix underlined text, you will need to remove the underline element from the text or CSS styles that are making it underlined. Try using other stylization, such as italics, colored text, or bolding to emphasize or differentiate between words or phrases.

Warning icon

Low-quality Alternative Text

Category: Tool Tips Notice Type: Warning WCAG Levels: A

To fix this warning, you will need to rewrite the alternative text for any images that flagged the Low-Quality Alternative Text warning, ensuring the alternative text is accurate, unique, contextually appropriate, and does not contain redundant or unnecessary descriptors.

Warning icon

Duplicate Alternative Text

Category: Tool Tips Notice Type: Warning WCAG Levels: A

To resolve this warning, you will need to change the text of either one or both elements that flagged the Duplicate Alternative Text warning, ensuring that all images have unique alt text and that you are not repeating your alt text in your image titles and captions.

Warning icon

Text Too Small

Category: Tool Tips Notice Type: Warning

To fix text that is too small, you will need to ensure that all text elements on your website are at least 10 points. It may be larger, but keep in mind that text that is 20 points or bigger, or 16 points or bigger and bold and/or italicized may be flagged as a possible heading.
