Observation Details

Smartwatch images in the first page section are declared decorative by setting aria-hidden="true". While the Kids Watch can be declared decorative, the first image has content which is not available in the text beside it, thus should be accessible via screen reader.

Remediation Notes

As an alt attribute is already set, removing the aria-hidden="true" is all that needs to be done.

Side note: there is no need for using ARIA attribute to hide an image from screen readers. A null alt attribute is the preferred native HTML method to do so.

Priority: Moderate Low Page: Smart Connect Observation Permalink
Observation Details

The link "Zum Tarif ohne Gerät" solely relies on color to be differentiated from the other text content.

Remediation Notes

Links must not only rely on color to differentiate them from non-link text content. Use default HTML underline as an easy remediation method.
