Common problems include menus, forms, or interactive elements that can\u2019t be accessed using the tab key. For compliance, websites must allow users to navigate and interact with all features via keyboard. This includes logical tab orders, visible focus indicators, and skip navigation links. Improving keyboard accessibility not only supports users with disabilities but also makes your site smoother for anyone who prefers shortcuts.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7f041f0 disable-default elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7f041f0\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8122602\" data-id=\"8122602\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1056efd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1056efd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Improper or missing headings<\/h3><p>Headings help organize content and guide users through your website. <a href=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/us\/news\/screen-reader-accessibility\/\">Screen readers<\/a> rely on proper heading structures (H1, H2, H3, etc.) to navigate pages efficiently.
