Do not have animated elements if avoidable. Where it is not avoidable, the user must be able to turn them off. There are 5 specific checkpoints in Guideline 7.
| No. | Checkpoint | Priority | Disability Accommodated |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7.1 | Until user agents allow users to control flickering, avoid causing the screen to flicker | Priority 1 | Epileptic ADD |
| 7.2 | Until user agents allow users to control blinking, avoid causing content to blink (i.e., change presentation at a regular rate, such as turning on and off) | Priority 2 | Epileptic ADD |
| 7.3 | Until user agents allow users to freeze moving content, avoid movement in pages | Priority 2 | Epileptic |
| 7.4 | Until user agents provide the ability to stop the refresh, do not create periodically auto-refreshing pages | Priority 2 | Blind |
| 7.5 | Until user agents provide the ability to stop auto-redirect, do not use markup to redirect pages automatically. Instead, configure the server to perform redirects | Priority 2 | Blind |
