No main landmark
63.7%
of the 3,044 free scans considered in the last 30 days raised this finding. That is 1,940 scans across 1,932 distinct sites. 95% interval 61.6% to 65.8%.
What it means
A page without a main landmark gives a screen-reader visitor no way to jump straight to the content.
How to fix it
Wrap the primary content in a single <main> element. It is the target of the skip link and the first thing a screen-reader user jumps to.
How to check it yourself
Open DevTools, go to the Elements panel, and search the markup for a main element. If none exists, the page has no main landmark.
What fixed looks like
The page markup contains a single main element wrapping the primary content.
How we measured this
Go Voltic scans a site and records which findings it raises. The share above is over every free four-page scan in the last 30 days that loaded at least one page, which is 3,044 scans. Deep scans of paid reports and of the research sweep read a site at a different depth and are a separate population, never in this denominator. It is not a survey and it is not an estimate: it is a count of what our own scanner found. Sites are counted once each in the distinct-sites figure, so a site scanned twice does not weigh double there.
The interval is a 95% Wilson interval. A share printed without its sample size reads as certainty and is indistinguishable from a guess, so both are always shown. Figures on this page were computed on 2026-09-08.
The same share sits beside every other finding on the benchmarks page, which also carries the whole table as CSV and JSON and says how to cite it.

The free scan reads four pages and reports every finding it raises, including this one. It takes about ten seconds and asks for nothing but the address.
