1. Accessibility Review (WCAG 2.1)

Critical (Must Fix)

| Check | WCAG | What to look for | |-------|------|------------------| | Images without alt | 1.1.1 | <img> without alt attribute | | Icon-only buttons | 4.1.2 | <button> with only SVG/icon, no aria-label | | Form inputs without labels | 1.3.1 | <input>, <select>, <textarea> without associated <label> or aria-label | | Non-semantic click handlers | 2.1.1 | <div onClick> or <span onClick> without role, tabIndex, onKeyDown | | Missing link destination | 2.1.1 | <a> without href using only onClick |

Serious (Should Fix)

| Check | WCAG | What to look for | |-------|------|------------------| | Focus outline removed | 2.4.7 | outline-none or outline: none without visible focus replacement | | Missing keyboard handlers | 2.1.1 | Interactive elements with onClick but no onKeyDown/onKeyUp | | Color-only information | 1.4.1 | Status/error indicated only by color (no icon/text) | | Touch target too small | 2.5.5 | Clickable elements smaller than 44x44px |

Moderate (Consider Fixing)

| Check | WCAG | What to look for | |-------|------|------------------| | Heading hierarchy | 1.3.1 | Skipped heading levels (h1 -> h3) | | Positive tabIndex | 2.4.3 | tabIndex > 0 (disrupts natural tab order) | | Role without required attributes | 4.1.2 | role="button" without tabIndex="0" |
