ARIA Labels

Checks that interactive elements have accessible names


Rule ID	`a11y/aria-labels`
Category	Accessibility
Scope	Per-page
Severity	error
Weight	6/10

Solution

All interactive elements (buttons, links, inputs) need accessible names for screen readers. Use: visible text content, aria-label for icon-only buttons, aria-labelledby to reference existing text, or the title attribute as a fallback. Icon buttons especially need aria-label: <button aria-label='Close'>×</button>. Test with a screen reader or browser accessibility inspector.
