WCAG 1.3.1 Info and Relationships Level A

Who this affects

The table's caption and summary say the same thing, which is announced twice.

How to fix it

Keep the caption and make the summary add something different, or remove the summary.

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.
