# Do not use aria-hidden on the document body
Setting `aria-hidden="true"` on the body effectively silences the entire application for screen reader users, rendering the site completely unusable.
## Quick Reference
- The `<body>` element should never have `aria-hidden="true"`
- Hiding the body makes the entire page invisible to assistive technologies
- Often happens accidentally when managing modal states
## Check
Check if the `<body>` element has `aria-hidden="true"` applied at any point in the lifecycle.
