Document should not have more than one contentinfo landmark
What is the problem?
The "landmark-no-duplicate-contentinfo" rule states that a webpage should have only one contentinfo landmark. This landmark is typically used to identify the footer of a page, which often contains copyright information, contact details, and site maps.
Impacted Groups
Why is this important?
Having multiple contentinfo landmarks can confuse screen reader users. Screen readers use landmarks to help users navigate a page, and having multiple landmarks with the same purpose can disrupt the user's understanding of the page structure.
How to solve this issue
To fix this issue, ensure that there is only one contentinfo landmark on the page. If multiple sections of the page contain footer-like information, consider combining them into a single section or using a different landmark type to identify them.
