WCAG violations we detect

Each check is mapped to a specific WCAG success criterion and surfaced with the affected pages in the scan report.

Viewport blocks pinch-zoomWCAG 1.4.4 / ADAHigh

meta viewport with maximum-scale=1 or user-scalable=no prevents low-vision users from zooming. Fails WCAG 2.1 AA criterion 1.4.4 and is among the most litigated ADA violations.

Images missing alt textWCAG 1.1.1High

Informational images without alt attributes are invisible to screen readers. WCAG 1.1.1 requires all non-decorative images to have a text alternative.

Form inputs without visible labelsWCAG 1.3.1 / 3.3.2High

Inputs associated only by placeholder (not a real <label>) lose context when the field has content. Required for screen readers and voice-control users.

Buttons without an accessible nameWCAG 4.1.2High

Icon-only buttons with no aria-label, aria-labelledby, or visible text are announced as "button" with no context — a standard ADA lawsuit trigger.

Inline SVGs without title or aria-labelWCAG 1.1.1Medium

SVG icons and illustrations that convey meaning must have a <title>, aria-label, or be marked aria-hidden="true" if purely decorative.

role="presentation" on images with alt textWCAG 1.1.1Medium

Combining role="presentation" or role="none" with a non-empty alt attribute creates a screen-reader contradiction — the alt is ignored, defeating its purpose.

Duplicate DOM IDsWCAG 2.5.3Medium

Multiple elements sharing the same id break ARIA label associations (aria-labelledby, aria-describedby) and can cause screen readers to jump to the wrong element.

Form errors not associated with inputsWCAG 3.3.1Medium

Error messages placed near but not programmatically linked to their inputs are missed by screen readers — a common ADA lawsuit basis for e-commerce checkout forms.

European Accessibility Act (EAA) — June 2025

The EAA came into force in June 2025, extending mandatory web accessibility requirements to private-sector businesses across the EU — not just public bodies. Products and services including e-commerce, banking, and transport must meet WCAG 2.1 AA. Penalties vary by member state but run from €10,000 to over €100,000.

If your site serves EU customers, the EAA adds a compliance layer on top of GDPR. The same Seoxpert scan covers both — WCAG signals in the accessibility category and privacy/consent gaps in the compliance category.
