Page structure

landmark-one-main

WCAG 1.3.1 Info and Relationships Level A

Who this affects

The page has no main landmark, so screen reader users cannot jump straight to the content.

How to fix it

Wrap the primary content in a <main> element. Use one per page.

How much work is it?

Usually a template or design change. That is a rough guide for planning, not an estimate for your codebase. A single content edit repeated across a template is a template change.

What a person still has to check

Passing this rule does not mean 1.3.1 passes. Automation checks part of the criterion, and the rest is a judgement:

Confirm headings, lists, and tables are marked up as such, and that visual grouping is reflected in the markup.

Where this check comes from

This is an axe-core rule. We run axe in a real browser on every page we scan. Deque’s reference for landmark-one-main
