Did Wix Just Break Your SEO?

Did Wix Just break your SEO?

If you’ve logged into your Wix dashboard lately and gotten hit with a flood of SEO or accessibility errors — you’re not alone.

Starting in June 2025, Wix quietly rolled out a major update to its SEO and ADA (Accessibility) scanning tools. The result? Suddenly your once "green" site might now look like it's full of problems.

Let’s clear the air on what’s happening — and why it matters for your site’s performance.

💡 What Changed?

Wix updated its internal scanners to follow stricter ADA compliance guidelines and more advanced SEO detection. It’s part of their effort to keep up with the latest web accessibility laws and Google’s evolving SEO standards.

This means it’s now flagging:

• Missing alt text on decorative icons

• Background shapes and images (even if they’re not “content”)

• Mobile-only elements

• Color contrast issues

• Unlabeled buttons or links

Basically, things that didn’t matter before... now do.

😬 Does This Mean Your SEO Is Broken?

Not necessarily — but it does mean your site might not be as accessible or search-engine-friendly as it should be.

If these issues are ignored, it can impact:

• Your Google rankings

• How screen readers interpret your site

• Your ADA compliance, which matters for user experience and potential legal risk

⚠️ Why You Shouldn’t Ignore This

ADA compliance is about more than just SEO — it’s about making your website usable for everyone. That includes users with visual, hearing, or mobility impairments.

And here’s the kicker: Google takes accessibility seriously. So the cleaner and more compliant your site is, the better your SEO foundation will be.
