This is what you should do: Add visible link text, or use aria-label or an image with alt for icon links.
No <h1> heading in the delivered HTML
Each page should begin with exactly one h1. On pages built via JavaScript the h1 may only appear in the browser — then check in the rendered DOM.

Method & limits
On 8/31/2026 the HTML that www.bild.de delivers on a first visit without login was checked, plus up to four linked CSS files from the same domain. Checked: colour contrast (from CSS), text alternatives, form labelling, names of controls, heading structure, page title and page language, zoom lock, duplicate ids, positive tabindex values, landmarks.
Not checked: anything that arises via JavaScript, keyboard operability, visible focus, focus order, screen-reader announcement, content behind login, subpages. The automated test finds roughly 20–35% of WCAG breaches — the rest needs a manual check. A snapshot, not a legal decision.
