      Actual Results

      The main landmark regions is not defined programmatically on the page.
      As a result, screen reader users might not be able to identify the main region and navigate between different regions quickly.

      Expected Results

      Screen reader users should be able to identify each landmark region as well as navigate to different regions on the page.

      Every page must have a main landmark specified. Content present in main region of page should be encapsulated under <main> </main> tags OR role=”main” can be provided to the parent <div> element containing the main content so that screen reader users can easily jump to the main landmark or may skip the main section if needed.
      Apply the following change:
      • Provide main landmark region for the respective page.

      Use the following to define the landmark: !https://www.w3.org/favicon.ico!Landmark Regions
