Basic accessibility gaps (BFSG)

What it means

Missing language attribute, page title, image alt texts or form labels — the machine-readable basics assistive technology relies on.

Why it matters

Since June 2025, Germany's BFSG (implementing the European Accessibility Act) makes accessibility a legal requirement for most consumer-facing digital services.

How to fix it

Set <html lang>, give every page a title, every image an alt text and every form field a label. These four cover the most common findings.
