Landmark Regions

Checks for proper landmark regions (main, nav, footer)

Rule ID	a11y/landmark-regions
Category	Accessibility
Scope	Per-page
Severity	info
Weight	3/10

Solution

Landmark regions help screen reader users navigate page structure. Use semantic HTML5 elements: <main> for primary content, <nav> for navigation, <header> for page header, <footer> for footer, <aside> for sidebars, and <section>/<article> for content sections. Alternatively, use ARIA roles: role=‘main’, role=‘navigation’, etc. Each page should have exactly one <main> element.
