Requirements

The requirements relating to the page titles are being met. All tested pages have descriptive, discernable names, with the most specific information first and the website name last.

2.4.1 Bypass Blocks (level A):

Possible Improvements

Through testing, it became clear that the use of the | (pipe) character as a divider is annoying when using VoiceOver. Page titles are spoken as:

Results vertical line programming 2 vertical line a plus

The words “vertical line” take approximately as much speech time than the relevant content.

Replacing this with a - (hyphen) results in a short pause and no description, which may be preferable. That said, this is “low” priority, as many websites use the | character and screen reader users are generally used to this convention.
