Form fields without labels
What it means and why it matters
Without a label, screen-reader users don't know what to type into a field — checkout and newsletter forms become guesswork (WCAG 1.3.1, 4.1.2).
How to fix it
Connect a visible <label for="…"> to every input. Placeholders are not a replacement for labels.
Code example
Before
<input type="email" name="newsletter" placeholder="Your email">After
<label for="nl-email">Email for our newsletter</label>
<input type="email" id="nl-email" name="newsletter" autocomplete="email">Find this error on your website
