Lovable's AI built a 100% accessible site – or did it?
Lovable's AI claims to have built a 100% accessible website, but real-world testing reveals significant issues. A screen reader user encountered problems such as content being read from behind menus and interruptions from automated security features. These challenges highlight the gap between theoretical accessibility scores and practical user experiences.

- ▪It received a perfect accessibility score from Lovable's Speed tool, which runs Axe.
- ▪Real-life testing showed that users faced issues like ghosting effects and focus management problems.
