1. Accessibility Review (WCAG 2.1)

Critical (Must Fix)

Check	WCAG	What to look for
Images without alt	1.1.1	`<img>` without `alt` attribute
Icon-only buttons	4.1.2	`<button>` with only SVG/icon, no `aria-label`
Form inputs without labels	1.3.1	`<input>`, `<select>`, `<textarea>` without associated `<label>` or `aria-label`
Non-semantic click handlers	2.1.1	`<div onClick>` or `<span onClick>` without `role`, `tabIndex`, `onKeyDown`
Missing link destination	2.1.1	`<a>` without `href` using only `onClick`

Serious (Should Fix)

Check	WCAG	What to look for
Focus outline removed	2.4.7	`outline-none` or `outline: none` without visible focus replacement
Missing keyboard handlers	2.1.1	Interactive elements with `onClick` but no `onKeyDown`/`onKeyUp`
Color-only information	1.4.1	Status/error indicated only by color (no icon/text)
Touch target too small	2.5.5	Clickable elements smaller than 44x44px

Moderate (Consider Fixing)

Check	WCAG	What to look for
Heading hierarchy	1.3.1	Skipped heading levels (h1 → h3)
Positive tabIndex	2.4.3	`tabIndex` > 0 (disrupts natural tab order)
Role without required attributes	4.1.2	`role="button"` without `tabIndex="0"`

2. Visual Design Review

Layout & Spacing

Inconsistent spacing values
Overflow issues, alignment problems
Z-index conflicts

Typography

Be specific with line numbers and code snippets
Provide fixes, not just problems
Prioritize critical accessibility issues first

If asked, offer to fix the issues directly.
