How to fix aria toggle field name on Wix

Add a visible or programmatic accessible name to every toggle control (checkbox, switch, or button with role="switch") so screen readers can announce what the control does.

Steps for Wix

  1. Open the Wix Editor for your site.
  2. Click on the toggle/checkbox element that is missing a label. In Wix's native checkbox widget, ensure the 'Label' field in the element settings panel contains visible, descriptive text.
  3. For custom-coded toggles added via Wix Velo (formerly Corvid), open the Page Code or Site Code panel and locate the toggle element. Add element.accessibility.ariaLabel = 'Descriptive label' in the page's onReady function using the Velo Accessibility API.
  4. For third-party app widgets (e.g. cookie banners, wishlist apps), check the app's own settings panel for an accessible label option, or contact the app developer.
  5. Use the Wix Preview mode and test with a browser screen reader or the axe DevTools extension to confirm the accessible name is being read aloud.

What is aria toggle field name?

WCAG Success Criterion 4.1.2 requires that every interactive control — including checkboxes, toggle switches, and any element with `role="switch"` — has an accessible name: a short text label that screen readers speak aloud when a user lands on the control. This label can come from visible text next to the element, an `aria-label` attribute, an `aria-labelledby` attribute pointing to another element, or (for images/icons) an `alt` attribute. When none of these are present, the control is essentially nameless — a screen reader announces only "checkbox" or "switch" with no clue what it toggles.

Without accessible names on toggles, blind and low-vision shoppers cannot use critical site controls: newsletter opt-ins, cookie consent switches, "Add to wishlist" toggles, product option selectors, and checkout preference checkboxes all become unusable. This directly blocks sales and exposes your store to legal risk under the ADA (USA), EN 301 549 (EU), and equivalent laws in many other markets — accessibility lawsuits against ecommerce stores have increased sharply year over year. Search engines also use accessibility signals as a quality indicator, so poorly accessible pages can indirectly affect your organic rankings. Fixing this typically takes under an hour and immediately removes a barrier for millions of users who rely on assistive technology.
