Explanation
Website accessibility matters because a site should be usable by everyone, including people with disabilities. Google recommends features such as alt text, high color contrast, informative link text, and readable text because they help users understand and navigate content more easily. These features reduce barriers for people using screen readers, keyboard-based access, or different devices. Accessibility also improves the overall user experience by making content clearer and easier to use for a wider audience. Google Help+1
