Description
A slide or carousel element on the page was found to be updating or rotating automatically without user interaction. This could cause accessibility issues for users who may have difficulty reading the content before it changes or for those who rely on assistive technology. Users must be able to pause, stop, or hide any moving, blinking, scrolling, or auto-updating content that lasts more than five seconds. An auto-rotating carousel should provide controls to pause the motion.
How to fix
Ensure the carousel provides controls like <button aria-label="Pause" onclick="stopCarousel()">Pause</button> to allow users to stop the rotation, and use aria-live="off" to prevent assistive tech interruptions.
