Checkboxes and switches with no label

Some on/off controls have nothing describing what they switch.

Who this affects

Screen reader users, who hear "checkbox, not checked" with no idea what it controls.

Fix it in WordPress

Common on the WooCommerce checkout's terms checkbox after theme customisation, and on filter widgets in shop sidebars.

What the fix is, technically

Add a label or aria-label to each toggle.

Or let the plugin do it

This is one of the failures AccessVane can repair for you. It changes the pages your server actually sends, not a script layered on top, and switching the repair off puts everything back exactly as your theme had it.
