Pronounce a11y as either \u201ca-one-one-y\u201d or \u201ca-eleven-y\u201d, not \u201cally\u201d, as those are numerical ones and not the letter L.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How will this feature affect Elementor widgets?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some Elementor widgets may need improvements to adhere to accessibility guidelines. For example, the Elementor Tabs widget creates empty anchor tags and missing screen reader states per tab which conflicts with accessibility guidelines. In addition, the empty anchor tags may be a negative search engine ranking factor. In the experiment added to version 3.1.0, we improved the Tabs widget accessibility by removing empty &lt;a&gt; tags, adding selected tab state, and improving keyboard navigation. These changes help improve the ranking and accessibility of user\u2019s sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"callout-red\"><strong>Important<\/strong>: This experiment includes some markup changes which may affect any custom code that users have implemented in their websites. Because this is in the experimental feature stage only, users should test the new, accessible Tabs widget on test sites only to avoid damaging existing sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"callout-yellow\"><strong>Note<\/strong>: This experiment is automatically active on all NEW sites with a new install of Elementor only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use this feature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to <em>Elementor &gt; Settings &gt; Features&nbsp;<\/em>tab.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>Active<\/strong> from the <em>Accessibility Improvements<\/em> dropdown.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the <strong>Save Changes<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/active-1024x700.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/active-1024x700.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/elementor.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/active-300x205.jpg 300w, https:\/\/elementor.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/active-768x525.jpg 768w, https:\/\/elementor.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/active.jpg 1116w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Accessibility Improvement experiment aims to improve accessibility of Elementor widgets<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_elementor_kustomer_id":["65ba349fecb88eb9122fd9ab"],"footnotes":""},"categories":[1498],"tags":[1326],"class_list":["post-7560","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-deprecated","tag-experiment"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Make your site more accessible | Elementor<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Learn everything about Make your site more accessible in this article from Elementor&#039;s Knowledge Base.
