How to fix frame title on Squarespace

Add a descriptive `title` attribute to every `<iframe>` and `<frame>` element on your store so screen-reader users know what each embedded frame contains before entering it.

Steps for Squarespace

  1. In your Squarespace editor, navigate to the page containing the iframe. If the iframe was inserted via a Code Block (Insert → Code), click Edit on that block.
  2. Find the <iframe> tag in the code block and add title="…" directly to it, then save.
  3. For Squarespace extensions or third-party embed codes that inject iframes, edit the embed code in the relevant Code Block or Footer/Header injection area (Settings → Advanced → Code Injection) and add the title attribute.
  4. For iframes Squarespace itself generates (e.g. for Maps blocks, Form blocks), there is no direct title override available in the editor — submit a feature/accessibility request to Squarespace support, or replace the built-in block with a custom Code Block containing your own iframe with a title attribute.

What is frame title?

Every `<iframe>` (embedded map, video, chat widget, payment form, etc.) must have a `title` attribute that briefly describes what is inside it — for example, `title="Google Map showing our store location"`. This is required by WCAG 2.x Success Criterion 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value). Without a title, a screen reader simply announces "frame" or nothing at all, leaving blind and low-vision shoppers with no idea what the frame contains or whether they need to interact with it.

Failing this criterion is a WCAG Level A violation — the lowest, most fundamental accessibility bar — which means your store is not accessible to a significant portion of disabled users. In many jurisdictions (USA under ADA, EU under the European Accessibility Act, UK Equality Act, etc.) inaccessible websites create legal exposure for businesses. Screen-reader users who cannot identify embedded frames may abandon checkout widgets, miss important content like store maps or video demos, and leave your site without converting. Auditors and automated tools flag this issue prominently, and it is one of the easiest fixes you can make — often just adding a single HTML attribute.
