What WCAG 2.4.10 Requires
AAA only: sections of content are organized under headings, so the structure of long content is easy to scan and navigate.
Can AccessBell Test This Automatically?
Not fully. Like most WCAG criteria that depend on meaning or context, this one needs a person to judge. AccessBell's report lists it for manual review rather than marking it pass or fail automatically, so it never gets missed.
How to Test It by Hand
Check that long-form content is broken into sections, each introduced by a heading.
Common Failures
- A long article has no subheadings breaking up its sections.
