A.15 WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 2.3.2 − Three Flashes

Ensure there is nothing on a website that "flashes" for more than three times per second irrespective of its size. Otherwise, this may cause problems for people who suffer from epilepsy.

Before Rectification

A webpage sample containing a rapid flashing animation.

In this example, the traffic light image is flashing too fast and is large in size. This can cause seizures.

After Rectification

A webpage sample containing static elements that do not flash.

It is better to replace flashing content with static content that does not change.
