TOP ACCESSIBILITY ERRORS IN PRODUCTION AND HOW TO AVOID THEM

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Almost 96% of the top million home pages fail at least one automated accessibility check, and the same errors have led WebAIM's report for seven years. Low contrast, missing alt text, unlabeled inputs, and empty links and buttons top the list, each fixable without a rebuild. Automated scans catch only about 30 to 40 percent of issues, so keyboard and screen reader testing still has to happen before release.
