Glad you found it interesting. I enjoy to dig into this kind of analysis stuff from time to time: A while ago I made an HTML study on around 8 million web pages: https://www.advancedwebranking.com/html/ https://www.advancedwebranking.com/html/ Also, I wrote about this journey on CSS-Tricks: 1. https://css-tricks.com/average-web-page-data-analyzing-8-million-websites/ https://css-tricks.com/average-web-page-data-analyzing-8-mil... 2. https://css-tricks.com/random-interesting-facts-htmlsvg-usage/ https://css-tricks.com/random-interesting-facts-htmlsvg-usag... On accessibility, I'd have loved to try out some screen readers but at the moment I write this article, I thought this accessibility analysis would deserve its own separate topic/article. A11Y is always hard. https://catalin.red/thoughts-on-accessibility/ https://catalin.red/thoughts-on-accessibility/ Sorry for all these plugs.

The plugs are cool, thanks! :) The 8 million webpage one was really interesting. I don't know why yet though. (I'm serious - I know this info will come in hand for figuring something out one day. Thanks.) TIL about [aria-hidden] from "HTML/SVG usage"/"Hiding DOM elements"! I wonder what the raw stats on display:none vs visibility:hidden are (especially considering that they have different effects). I wouldn't have expected 117000 webpages (is this a discrete page count or a website count?!) to use the highly specific ".visuallyhidden"... oh it's part of the HTML5Boilerplate framework, that explains it. The main issue with screen readers is that, AFAIK, JAWS doesn't offer a developer-access program! Or if it does, I've never heard of it. A LOT of people still use JAWS, AFAIK, in spite of the newer offerings out there. The main difficulty here is the differing-client-behavior problem, although NVDA and ChromeVox's free-ness are surely shifting the usage share (something I've wondered about for a while).
