The “Contentinfo Landmark Check” evaluates whether the contentinfo landmark (typically representing a site’s footer or metadata) is not nested within other landmark regions.
Example outcome
I noticed that the contentinfo landmarks are not contained within other landmarks.
Impact
Visual Impairments: Screen reader users might not be able to locate the footer or understand its relation to the rest of the content.
Motor Impairments: Inefficient or blocked keyboard landmark navigation can make reaching the footer difficult.
Cognitive Disabilities: Poor structure can impair the ability to predict or recognize site-wide patterns.
Fixes
To address inappropriate contentinfo landmarks:
Locate the inappropriately placed contentinfo landmark.
Remove it from within the landmark in which it is nested, tipically placing it on the bottom of the page.
