What is inaccessible about a bunch of text on a page? It's readable in any kind of viewer you want, and a screen reader or a braille display can parse it. Does "accessibility" now mean that you have to have a navbar at the top of the screen for some reason?
- crazygringo 2y agoThe fact that almost every single link on the page goes to a 404, times out, or says Forbidden, might have something to do with it. Or the gigantic, seemingly meaningless URL. I don't know what this page is, but it doesn't seem to exist in any kind of context of a larger website. How did anybody even find this in the first place?
- lelandfe 2y ago"Accessible," like so many words, means different things to different people. You're saying this page seems inaccessible: how did anyone find this page? How is a person meant to access this stranded corner of the web? They're saying this page has good accessibility: those with impaired vision, who use text to speech tools and the like, would not face difficulty with this simple HTML.
- IAmBroom 2y agoIt's dumber than that. They're saying it is inaccessible because they don't like the URL. That's like giving a product on Amazon one star in a review because you don't like the vendor's SKU code.
- myhf 2y agoCool URLs don't change [1], and that page has had the same URL for 251 years [1] https://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI https://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI
- crazygringo 2y agoAh yes, if link rot accumulates over time then that would certainly explain it. ;)
