Observation Details

  • Image

    • In the badge, the purpose of the content is to show, the user getting 200 € "Ankaufsbonus" on top of the "Ankaufsangebot für das Altgerät". The icon's purpose is to communicate "Ankaufsangebot für das Altgerät".

  • Inline SVG icons have no text alternative. As the icon is embedded as inline SVG, the SVG's <title> element must be present if no other text alternative is provided, in which case the SVG must be hidden from screen readers

    • Sidebar – Info

Remediation Notes

  • Ankaufsbonus

    • Change the text alternative to communicate the icon's purpose, e.g. by setting alt="Ankaufspreis Ihres Altgerätes".

  • Vorbestellung

    • Add <title> element to SVG or embed SVG from file and treat like <img>

    • If declaring icon as decorative, ensure <title> element is empty and SVG is hidden from screen readers by setting aria-hidden="true"
