Accessibility report for happytimescafe.com
Based on an automated WCAG 2.1 Level AA scan on September 24, 2026.
happytimescafe.com does not yet meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA, the accessibility standard written into U.S. and EU law. This automated scan found 10 types of barrier affecting people with disabilities.
On this page, the most frequent barrier is "Some images on this page have no description for screen readers" — found on 28 elements. In total the scan flagged 54 issues across 10 categories of WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
WCAG 2.1 Level AA is the standard U.S. courts apply under the ADA, and the law across the EU under the European Accessibility Act. These barriers block screen-reader, keyboard-only, and low-vision users — and every one of them is fixable. Here's how.
What needs fixing to meet the standard
Some buttons have no description that screen readers can announce.
WCAG 4.1.2 (Level A) Section 508EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: Visual users see an icon (a heart, a trash can, an X), but screen-reader users hear only 'button' — they don't know if it'll favorite a post, delete it, or close a dialog. This is a critical accessibility blocker and a top lawsuit driver.
How to fix it: Every button needs a text label. If you can't put text inside the button (icon-only design), in your platform's button settings look for an 'Aria label' or 'Screen reader text' field — fill it with what the button does ('Close', 'Add to cart', 'Open menu').

Some images on this page have no description for screen readers.
WCAG 1.1.1 (Level A) Section 508EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: Blind and low-vision users rely on screen readers to read pages aloud. When an image has no description, the screen reader either skips it entirely or reads out the file name — useless. Missing alt text is the #2 lawsuit-magnet category.
How to fix it: In your site editor, click each image and look for an 'Alt text' or 'Image description' field. Write a short sentence describing what the image shows or what it links to. For purely decorative images (dividers, background flourishes), enter empty alt text or check a 'decorative' box if the platform offers one.
Some form fields have no label that screen readers can announce.
WCAG 4.1.2 (Level A) Section 508EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader and cognitive-disability users
Why it matters: Visually you can see what each field is for (next to a 'Name:' or 'Email:' text), but screen-reader users hear only 'edit text' if there's no programmatic label connecting the text to the field. The result: blind users can't tell what to type where.
How to fix it: In a website builder, every form field has a 'Label' field or similar. Make sure every input has one filled in. Placeholder text (the gray hint inside the field) does NOT count as a label — it has to be a real label.
The page doesn't declare what language it's in.
WCAG 3.1.1 (Level A) EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: Screen readers use this to pick the right voice and pronunciation rules. Without it, English content might be read with a French accent (or vice versa).
How to fix it: In your platform's site settings, find a 'Site language' option and set it (English = en, Spanish = es, etc.). Most modern platforms do this automatically — if it's missing, ask your developer to add lang='en' to the html element.
Some elements have positive tabindex values, forcing a custom focus order.
Affects keyboard-only users
Why it matters: Custom focus orders are nearly always confusing — focus jumps around unexpectedly. Best practice is to never use positive tabindex.
How to fix it: Developer fix: 'replace tabindex=1/2/3... with tabindex=0 (or remove entirely); use DOM order to control focus order'.
Some buttons or links are too small to tap reliably on touch screens.
WCAG 2.5.8 (Level AA) Affects low-vision and colorblind users
Why it matters: WCAG 2.2 requires touch targets to be at least 24×24 pixels. Small targets are a problem for users with hand tremors, large fingers, or motor disabilities. They're also frustrating for everyone.
How to fix it: In your editor, increase padding around small icon buttons. If your developer is involved, ask them to ensure all interactive elements have minimum 24×24 CSS pixels of clickable area.
This page has no 'main content' region marked.
Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: Screen-reader users press a single shortcut to jump to the main content, skipping menus and headers. Without a marked main region, they have to tab through everything.
How to fix it: Most modern platforms add this automatically. If yours doesn't, ask your developer to wrap the main content in a <main> element.
The page tells mobile browsers users can't zoom in.
WCAG 1.4.4 (Level AA) EN 301 549 Affects low-vision and colorblind users
Why it matters: People with low vision rely on pinch-zoom to read small text. Disabling zoom is a real WCAG failure and a common lawsuit target.
How to fix it: In platform site settings, look for a 'Mobile zoom' or 'Pinch zoom' option and enable it. If your developer added user-scalable=no in a viewport meta tag, ask them to remove it.
Some content on the page isn't inside a recognized region (header, nav, main, footer, aside).
Affects keyboard-only users
Why it matters: Screen-reader users navigate by these regions. Content outside any region can be missed when skimming.
How to fix it: Developer fix: 'wrap orphaned page content in semantic landmark elements (<main>, <aside>, <nav>) so it's reachable via landmark nav'.
Some images have alt text that duplicates nearby visible text.
Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: Screen-reader users hear the same content twice — the surrounding text and then the alt text. Annoying, not blocking. Lower-priority fix.
How to fix it: Find images where the caption or nearby paragraph already says what the image shows, and either change the alt text to add new info or set the alt to empty (so the screen reader skips it as decorative).
This is an automated scan and catches a portion of accessibility barriers; full WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance also requires manual and assistive-technology testing. See our methodology for what we do and don't claim.
