WebAIM Million - 2026 Update
https://webaim.org/projects/million/

"The 2026 update to WebAIM's annual analysis of the top one million home pages is available. This year saw an *increase* in detectable errors.

A primary concern is the significant increase in home page complexity and ARIA code—both of which correlate to increased detectable errors."

I am using this great tool from https://wave.webaim.org/ for web accessibility, does anyone else use it?

I wonder if there are any alternatives that is better.

#til <progress> elements need labels for #accessibility

I think because I've only used one in the context of a form's submission I figured it was unnecessary to label it for visual or non-visual users, but I'm sure I'm being ignorant of something, so I'll add a "form submitting" label! I also learnt about aria-busy and aria-described by to point to the progress.

come check out the #WebAIM virtual conference tomorrow! Ted Drake and I will be talking about the challenges involved with trying to use AI to draft alt text; inaccuracies, hallucinations/confabulations, sanitization of disability representation and bias, lack of surrounding context, and more. Now with new potential solutions and prompts from when we presented this same topic back at #CSUN. #A11y https://conference.webaim.org/

For those who don't know, WebAIM @webaim is a non-profit service centre operating out of Utah State University.

They run the WebAIM Million project, which reports on the accessibility of the home pages of the top 1000,000 websites. [1]

Over the years, I've found their resources on Creating Accessible Documents to be a reliable link to share with folks to begin learning about document accessibility. [2]

WebAIM: The WebAIM Million - The 2026 report on the accessibility of the top 1,000,000 home pages

Sad news: the WebAIM mailing list is shutting down on August 27.

The archives will remain available.

Since 1999, the WebAIM @webaim email list has distributed discussions on web accessibility and provided a virtual community for a diverse range of members. I've been subscribed since 2002, and I learned more about accessibility from the list and its members than from any other single source on the web.

End of an era.

#Joomla Kunden-Website: Lighthouse gibt 100% für Barrierefreiheit. Der Joomla eigene Barriere-Checker meckert auch nicht. Aber #Webaim https://wave.webaim.org/ gibt Kontrast-Warnungen für die Überschriften im Footer heraus, selbst wenn Hintergrund weiß und Schrift schwarz eingestellt ist. Wie kann das sein? False Positive von Webaim?
