Make pagination accessible

Without proper markup, screen reader users cannot understand which page they're on or navigate efficiently through paginated content.

Quick Reference

  • Use nav element with aria-label='Pagination'
  • Mark current page with aria-current='page'
  • Provide clear labels for previous/next buttons
  • Announce page changes to screen readers

Check

Verify pagination uses nav element with aria-label, indicates current page with aria-current, and is keyboard navigable.

Fix

Implement pagination with nav role='navigation', aria-label, aria-current='page' for active page, and focusable controls.

Explain

Explain how accessible pagination helps screen reader users understand their position and navigate through paged content.
