Reading a finding & fixing it in Joomla

A finding tells you four things:

1. The WCAG criterion that failed (e.g. 1.1.1 Non-text Content).
2. The page URL it was found on.
3. The element — a selector and snippet so you can locate it.
4. A how to fix in Joomla step — where in the article, module, template or menu item to make the change.

Typical fixes

• Missing alt text — add it in the image field or the editor image dialog; mark purely decorative images as decorative.
• Skipped heading level — change the heading style in the article body so levels are sequential.
• Unlabelled form field — add a label in the form builder or override the module layout.
• Empty link text — give icon links an accessible name (title / aria-label) in the template or menu item.

After a batch of fixes, run the scan again. Resolved findings drop off and the score moves. Use the Findings filter bar (with its live count) to work through one criterion at a time.
