Iframe titles (WCAG)

WCAG 4.1.2: frames need an accessible name, usually title.

Pass condition in our engine: Every iframe has a non-empty title — or there are no iframes.

This WCAG check is part of SEO-GEO scoring 2.2.1, last updated 2026-09-18. About 90 percent of the evaluation runs on the HTML we crawl, so you can verify the same pass condition with a free report.

1. Problem description

Untitled iframes are announced as “frame” with no purpose — a problem for YouTube, maps and payment widgets.

2. Most common causes

  • Embed snippets copied without title.
  • Empty title="".

3. How to fix it

  1. Set title="YouTube video: …" or similar.
  2. Prefer native elements over iframes when you can.
