How to improve accessibility?

Hello team,

You know that Google is becoming more and more demanding, now the new PageSpeed also uses LightHouse metrics.

My sysadmin has been able to simplify the theme to get good scores. But, there is something that cannot be improved in a simple way, accessibility.

Some people may think it’s not very important, but they’re confused. Accessibility is VERY IMPORTANT.

LightHouse and PageSpeed ask for specific things, how to use name, label, alt, etc… Especially in the buttons and useful parts of the web. So that visually impaired people can use voice systems.

Can you give me a solution to this problem?
Do you know any plugin that solves this problem in your theme?
In next NewsPapper updates, are you going to solve this problem?

Hi,

There will be overall performance improvements made in the theme in coming updates.

For optimal or within parameters accessibility a theme would have to be created with this in mind in the first place I believe

I don’t think a plugin will be able to increase the level of accessibility of a website or theme. Themes designed specifically in this matter will rank higher in the matter.

Thanks

Hello @Simion C.

Thanks for the answer.

I would like to ask you, if this problem will be solved in the next update of the theme.

If it will be solved, I can wait. But if it won’t be solved, I need to hire a programmer to do this work on my page.

Have a nice day, Jose

Hi,

If you mean changes made specifically for accessibility, there won’t be any as far as I know. What I meant is that there will be performance related optimizations, for a faster theme. I believe these will be made gradually.

There were plans to begin a while back, now after the latest updates these optimizations will be possible to do.

Thanks
