How to Make Website Tables Understandable With Screen Readers

A table can look clear visually while assistive technology users cannot associate cells with row and column headings.

Checks to make

Use semantic table markup, identify header relationships, provide a concise caption when useful, and avoid using layout tables for content. Test navigation with a screen reader and confirm responsive behavior preserves the data relationships.
