Do not use aria-hidden on the document body

Setting aria-hidden="true" on the body effectively silences the entire application for screen reader users, rendering the site completely unusable.

Quick Reference

  • The <body> element should never have aria-hidden="true"
  • Hiding the body makes the entire page invisible to assistive technologies
  • Often happens accidentally when managing modal states

Check

Check if the <body> element has aria-hidden="true" applied at any point in the lifecycle.

Fix

Remove aria-hidden="true" from the <body> and use it only on specific background containers when modals are open.
