9.13 WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 2.4.6 － Headings and Labels

Headings and labels must be accurate descriptions of the accompanying content.

Before Rectification

A webpage sample with the vague title 'Cats'.

The heading "Cats" shown above does not accurately describe the purpose of the content beneath it.

After Rectification

A webpage sample with a more descriptive title, i.e. 'Types of Cat In Asia'.

The image above however shows a more detailed heading that accurately describes the content. This would assist users using a screen reader.
