WCAG in Plain English

When additional content appears on hover or keyboard focus (including long press on touch), it must stay visible until dismissed or no longer valid, be dismissible (e.g. using the key), and remain visible when hovered or focused.

All functionality must be operable using a keyboard alone (no exception, not even for tasks involving gestures like drag-and-drop or pointer-based interaction).

If content moves, scrolls, blinks, or updates automatically for more than 5 seconds, it must be possible to pause it, stop it, or hide it.

Interruptions (like pop-ups, alerts, or notifications) must be able to be delayed or suppressed, and controlled, except in emergencies (e.g. critical system warnings).

Content must not flash, blink, or flicker more than three times per second, unless it stays within safety limits designed to avoid visual overload and reduce the risk of seizures.

Content must not flash, blink, or flicker more than three times per second (no exception, not even if it meets safety thresholds).

Animations triggered by interaction (e.g. on click, hover, tap) must be able to be disabled through system settings (e.g. “reduce motion”), or turned off using a site-level option.

It must be possible to skip repeated blocks of content (e.g. navigation, header) and jump directly to the main part of the page.

At least two different ways must be available to find pages or content (e.g. navigation menus, on-page links, site search, or a sitemap).

A visible indicator must show which element is currently focused when navigating with a keyboard.
