Frequently Asked Questions
Why is alt-text important for screen readers?
Alt-text provides a textual description of images, allowing screen readers to describe visual content to users with visual impairments. It is also a critical ranking factor for Image SEO.
Is my source code kept private?
Yes. The auditor runs entirely on the client side. Your HTML code is never uploaded to a server, ensuring your proprietary code remains secure and private.
What specific elements does this tool check?
The auditor currently flags <img> tags missing the “alt” attribute and <button> tags that contain no text or “aria-label” attributes.
What is an aria-label and why do I need it?
An aria-label is a string that labels an interactive element. If a button only contains an icon (like a “X” for close), the aria-label tells the screen reader exactly what the button does.
Can I audit an entire website URL?
This tool is designed for code snippets and component-level auditing. For full URL crawls, we recommend using this tool to fix issues locally before deployment.
Does this tool guarantee ADA compliance?
While it catches major technical errors, accessibility also involves context. We recommend using this auditor as a first-pass check alongside manual testing.
