As Gatsby continues to be used for building larger and more complex sites, we are constantly asking our users and the community how we could improve. Among professional Gatsby developers, we tend to hear less about specific bugs and feature requests and more about qualities they want and need in their site -- faster load times, shorter publish times, and so on.

We recently released accessibility improvements to client side routing, enabling screen reader users to successfully navigate sites built with Gatsby.

We conducted 5 user testing sessions with Fable Tech Labs to determine which client-side routing techniques are the most accessible to people with disabilities. With this research, we can make more informed decisions for accessible page changes in sites built with Gatsby, React, and beyond.
