The lang attribute
Declares the document language on <html>. Screen readers use it to pick a voice; search engines use it as one language signal.
How the audit judges it
| Field present | good — 8.3 of 8.3 points |
| Field missing | warn — 4.2 of 8.3 points |
A missing value warns rather than fails: something else on the page usually stands in, so the loss is half the share.
