Accessibility¶

Everything Mentionlink adds to your pages conforms to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA.

This covers:

• product links in your text;
• hotspots, image map areas and captions on your images;
• product card carousels.

What This Means¶

• Screen readers: every link, hotspot and card has an accessible name that names the product. Hotspots are not announced twice.
• Keyboard: every link and card can be reached with the Tab key and shows a visible focus indicator. Focusing a caption link reveals its hotspot, just as hovering does.
• Small screens and zoom: product card carousels scroll on their own at 320 CSS pixels wide, so your page never scrolls sideways. Tabbing through the cards brings each one into view.
• Contrast: text meets the Level AA contrast ratios.

How We Test¶

Every release is checked by automated tests against all WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 success criteria at Levels A and AA that axe-core can check, along with keyboard, focus, screen reader naming and reflow tests. Only the markup Mentionlink adds is tested, so the accessibility of the rest of your website remains your responsibility. Your own CSS can also override our styles, for example the colors of links.
