What is Focus Order Checker?

A focus order checker visualizes the sequence in which interactive elements receive focus when users navigate with the Tab key. It identifies elements with tabindex, buttons, links, form inputs, and other focusable elements.

This tool renders your HTML and numbers each focusable element in tab order. It highlights issues like positive tabindex values (which disrupt natural tab order) and missing focus indicators.
