The “Inappropriate Contentinfo Landmark Check” evaluates whether there is any contentinfo landmark nested within another region’s landmark.
Example outcome
I noticed that the contentinfo landmark is contained within other landmark.
Impact
Visual Impairments: Screen readers may miss or misidentify the contentinfo region, making it harder to access legal, privacy, or support information.
Motor Impairments: Users who depend on landmark-based keyboard shortcuts might not be able to reach the footer efficiently.
Cognitive Disabilities: Structural inconsistencies can create confusion, particularly for users who rely on consistent patterns to navigate and comprehend layout.
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.
