If the tab switch needs to load data, this load needs to be communicated to
the sighted user as well. The best mechanism for communicating it to the AT
user as well is to use aria-live. If you write the loading code correctly,
you can inform the user when the server load begins, as it progresses and
also when it ends.

Relatively simple JavaScript code.
