Simple and Visible Web Accessibility

Test Page Notice

This page contains intentionally problematic accessibility patterns for testing and demonstration purposes only.

Do not use these examples in production websites. They violate accessibility guidelines and best practices.

This page is designed to work with the Accessibility Visualizer browser extension to help developers identify and understand accessibility issues.

❌ An image inside Shadow DOM without an alt attribute. Assistive technologies cannot convey the image's purpose.
