How to fix: Avoid positive tabindex values

A tabindex greater than zero forces an unnatural focus order that confuses keyboard users. Keep the DOM order meaningful and use 0 or -1 only.

The fix

Avoid tabindex values greater than 0; rely on the natural DOM order for focus.

Fails
<button tabindex="3">Buy</button>
