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.
