Manuel MatuzovićThe percentage of homepages with automatically detectable issues increased from 94.8 to 95.9 since last year, and I'm not at all surprised.
“Home pages averaged 23.3 aria-hidden="true" attributes (up 30% from 18 in 2025 and over 250% since 2020)”
aria-hidden="true" aka “fixing” accessibility issues
mattesmohr@matuzo But it can also be an increasing use of SVG plus aria-hidden=true, couldn't it?
@mattesmohr could be but I'd be surprised if that would account for a 30% increase. Also, I wrote about the lack of aria-hidden recently because it's a common issue in my experience.
