Conversion text does not meet contrast minimums
By Leakly · Published · Updated
01The problem
Text on or around the conversion control falls below the WCAG AA contrast ratio.
Low-contrast text is slower to read for everyone and unreadable for some. At the conversion step, anything that slows reading costs completions.
02How Leakly detects it
A structural fact counted in the rendered page, or a measurement against a threshold. Confidence ceiling for this detector family: 96%.
03Proof required
- Elements located in the rendered page, with their position and size.
- A measured number, with its unit and the threshold it crosses.
Without it, the finding is not reported.
04How to fix it
Raise the contrast on the conversion control.
- Bring the text against its background to at least 4.5:1, or 3:1 for large text.
- Check the hover and disabled states as well as the default one.
Each audit that finds this leak includes the exact element, a suggested change and, for copy, a rewrite you can paste.
