Boost accessibility with Color Contrast Checker
December 22, 2024
Using the right color contrast ratio when building or editing your website ensures that the text is clearly legible against the background.
This has several very important benefits:
- Better accessibility - An improved readability for users with visual impairments or color blindness
- Improved user experience - Enhanced overall usability by reducing eye strain and better navigation clarity
- A boost of SEO - An overall better user experience and optimization for accessibility means search engine algorithms will rank your site higher if it includes the right color contrast ratios
When selecting colors in the Premium Site Editor, you’ll now see the new Color Contrast Ratio checker with either a failed (red X) or passing score of AA or AAA. These will let you know if the color contrast ratio of the text element you selected is good.
You can now organize manual tax rates by geographic regions using Tax Zones, making it easier to manage different tax rules across the countries and states where you sell. Assign existing tax rates to specific zones and control which rates apply based on both the customer’s region and the products they purchase. Automatic Taxes continue to take priority when available, while your manual Tax Zones can serve as a fallback when automatic tax calculation is unavailable or turned off.
You can now keep community conversations cleaner with keyword and phrase-based moderation that automatically holds flagged posts and comments for admin review before they appear in the feed. Admins can quickly approve or remove content, review member reports separately, and receive notifications when something needs attention, while members can still see their own pending posts marked as “In review.” Community search has also been improved to better understand typos, synonyms, phrasing, and accented text, with results ranked by relevance.
