Perform the 60-Second Tab Test in Webflow
- Publish your Webflow site to the staging domain using the Publish button in the top-right corner.
- Open the published page in a new browser tab so you can test the live version.
- Click anywhere near the top of the page to ensure the browser window has keyboard focus.
- Press the Tab key once and observe which element receives focus. Confirm a clear, visible focus indicator appears.
- Continue pressing Tab repeatedly for 60 seconds, moving through all interactive elements (links, buttons, forms, toggles, menus, sliders).
- Watch for accessibility issues:
- Elements that receive no focus at all,
- Focus rings that are missing or very hard to see,
- Focus jumping unpredictably between areas,
- Any element requiring a mouse to operate.
- Use Shift + Tab to move backward and confirm reverse navigation works correctly.
- Note any elements that trap focus (e.g., open modals or custom components that you can't tab out of).
- Return to Webflow Designer and fix identified issues:
- Add or adjust Focused styles,
- Set tabindex="0" on custom interactive divs,
- Add keyboard triggers to interactions as needed.
- Republish the site and run the 60-second tab test again to confirm the fixes work across the full page.
