How to fix aria progressbar name on Wix

Steps for Wix

1. Open the Wix Editor for your site. Progress bars are typically added as Wix Progress Bar widgets or through custom HTML embed boxes.
2. Click the progress bar element on the canvas → click Settings (the gear icon) or the Accessibility panel (if available in your Wix version) — some Wix components expose an 'Accessible Name' or 'ARIA label' field directly in settings.
3. If no accessibility field is available, click the progress bar → Add to site / Manage → look for a 'Screen reader text' option.
4. For custom HTML progress bars embedded via Add → Embed → HTML iFrame: open the HTML editor and add aria-label='…' directly to the element markup inside the iframe.
5. For Wix Stores review-rating bars injected automatically, use the Wix Accessibility Wizard (found in the main Wix Editor menu under Accessibility) — it will flag unlabelled bars and guide you through adding labels.
6. Publish your site and verify with the axe DevTools browser extension.

What is aria progressbar name?

A progress bar (any element with role="progressbar", or an HTML `<progress>` element) must have a human-readable name so that assistive technologies like screen readers know what the bar is measuring — for example "Order shipping progress" or "Password strength". Without a name, a screen reader user hears something useless like "progress bar, 60%" with no context about what is progressing. The fix is almost always adding a single HTML attribute — `aria-label` or `aria-labelledby` — directly to the element.

This issue violates WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 1.1.1 (Non-text Content, Level A) — the lowest, most broadly required accessibility level. Failing Level A criteria creates legal exposure in jurisdictions that mandate web accessibility (including the ADA in the US, EAA in the EU, and AODA in Canada). For an ecommerce store, progress bars typically appear during checkout (multi-step progress), password-strength meters, review ratings, loyalty-point trackers, and shipping status — all high-value, conversion-critical moments. A customer using a screen reader who cannot understand a progress bar at checkout may abandon the purchase entirely. Fixing this is a quick-win code change that reduces legal risk and directly protects conversion rates for the roughly 7 million screen-reader users who shop online.
