Form fields with no label
A field with no label leaves a shopper guessing what to type — and these tend to sit on the pages where you make money.
What a shopper experiences
A screen reader announces a field by its label. Without one, it can only say "edit text" and the shopper is guessing. Grey placeholder text inside the box is not a label: it disappears the moment someone starts typing, many screen readers do not announce it, and it is usually too low-contrast to read anyway.
Why it shows up
Newsletter sign-ups in the footer and the search box in the header are the two we find most often, and both appear on every page of your store. Anything added by another app is worth checking too.
How to fix it
The field needs a proper label attached to it — either visible next to the field, or hidden for screen readers only if the design has no room. This is a small theme change, and worth prioritising because these fields sit on every page and are where shoppers are trying to give you money or their email address.
