Error · button-name
Buttons with no name
Lighthouse / axe call it: Buttons must have discernible text · Buttons do not have an accessible name
Icon-only buttons (menu, cart, close) are read as just "button". A blind customer can't tell the cart from the close button.
Who it leaves out: blind people (screen readers) · people who can't use a mouse
How to fix it
Each icon button gets a hidden name ("Open cart"). Nothing changes visually. Code included.
In the code
Put visible text inside the <button>, or add aria-label="…" when it only contains an icon.
