not a verdict.<br><br>Let\u2019s clarify this point.<br><br>In the screenshot above, Lighthouse reports a red warning about form labels:<br><br><strong><em>\u201cForm elements do not have associated labels.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><br><br>At first glance, this looks confusing.<br>If you inspect the page source, you can see that the comment textarea <em>does<\/em> have the expected <code>id=\"comment\"<\/code>.<br><br>So why does Lighthouse report a missing label?<br><br>WordPress uses a honeypot technique in its comment form to reduce spam.<br>The visible textarea initially receives a random ID, while the real <code>comment<\/code> field is hidden.<br>After the page loads, JavaScript swaps the IDs so the label points to the correct field at runtime.<br><br>Automated tools like Lighthouse analyze the static DOM, before JavaScript runs.<br>As a result, they may report missing labels even though the form works correctly for real users.<br><br>This is a good example of why automated accessibility tools should inform decisions, not replace manual testing.<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"gspb_heading-id-gsbp-3bcb777\" class=\"gspb_heading gspb_heading-id-gsbp-3bcb777
