How to fix landmark no duplicate main on Webflow

Steps for Webflow

1. Open your project in the Webflow Designer. In the Navigator panel (left sidebar), inspect the page structure for any element whose tag is set to '<main>'.
2. Click each suspect container element, open the Element Settings panel (right sidebar, gear icon), and check the 'Tag' dropdown. Only ONE element across the entire page should be set to 'Main'. Change any additional ones to 'Section', 'Div Block', or 'Article' as appropriate.
3. Check any Symbols or Components used on the page — open each Symbol and verify it does not internally use a '<main>' tag.
4. If third-party embed code (via Embed components) injects '<main>', edit the embed HTML and replace it with '<div>' or '<section>'.
5. Publish the site and re-test with the axe DevTools browser extension.

<main>
  <!-- All unique page content lives here — product listings,
       article body, cart, etc. -->
</main>

<!-- ✅ Only ONE <main> per page. Everything else uses
     <header>, <nav>, <aside>, <footer>, <section>, or <article>. -->

<!-- ❌ Do NOT add a second <main> or role="main" anywhere else on the same page -->
<!-- <div role="main">…</div>  ← remove this if <main> already exists -->

What is landmark no duplicate main?

Every web page should have exactly one "main landmark" — the region that holds the page's primary, unique content. This is created by using the HTML `<main>` tag or by adding `role="main"` to any container element. When a page accidentally includes two or more of these landmarks (for example, because a theme template wraps content in `<main>` and a widget or app adds another one), assistive technologies become confused about where the real content starts. The WCAG rule `landmark-no-duplicate-main` flags this exact situation.

Screen-reader users rely on landmarks to skip repetitive navigation and jump straight to what matters on a page — this is a foundational accessibility technique. When two `<main>` landmarks exist, screen readers may announce the wrong region, navigate to the wrong place, or skip content entirely, making your store effectively unusable for a significant portion of shoppers with disabilities. In many jurisdictions (USA, EU, UK, Australia) selling online to the public creates legal obligations under accessibility laws such as the ADA, EAA, and WCAG-based regulations; duplicate landmarks are a clear, auditable WCAG 2.x violation that can appear in demand letters and audits. Fixing it also signals clean, well-structured HTML to search engines, which can marginally support crawlability and indexing.
