Description

We detected a navigational landmark without an accessible name. When there are multiple navigational landmarks on the same page, it is important that they each have a unique accessible label to help provide clear context for assistive technology users about their purpose.

How to fix

When there are multiple <nav> landmark elements on the page, utilize either an [aria-label] or an [aria-labelledby] attribute to give context to each navigation region. For instance, the primary or main navigation region can be labelled "main" while a pagination navigation region can recieve a label of "pagination".
