Keyboard Navigation
Checks if all interactive elements are reachable via the Tab key.
What is this check?
This is a manual check to ensure that all interactive elements on the page (links, buttons, form fields, etc.) can be accessed and operated using only the keyboard, typically by pressing the 'Tab' key.
Why is it important?
Many users with motor disabilities rely on a keyboard or keyboard-like devices to navigate the web. If an element cannot be reached with the keyboard, these users cannot interact with it.
What is the impact?
Poor keyboard accessibility can make parts of your site completely unusable for a significant portion of users.
Example Implementation
To test this, press the 'Tab' key repeatedly. You should see a focus indicator (like a blue outline) move logically through all interactive elements. Press 'Enter' or 'Space' to activate buttons and links.
