Issue
- Screen reader does not read the full page upon new page load.
Resolution
- There are technical limitations due to how Single Page Applications (SPA) work of screen readers not being able read the entire page content with new page loads. However, even if the entire page content is not read, the page title is read upon successful page load and the focus is at the top of the DOM so that the user can move through the page.
- SPA can be disabled to improve screen reader functionality (see here for more details). SPA can be disabled at the following scopes:
- across an entire Liferay DXP instance
- in a portlet
- in individual elements
- In DXP 7.3 dxp-2 or higher, SPA can be disabled per custom excluded path using these steps.
- If SPA cannot be disabled, one method that users may use would be to refresh the page once they are notified of page load through the page title being reading.
