Link - Purpose

Issue Description

Links lack discernible text.

Recommendation

Avoid vague link text, such as <click here>, <learn more>, or <more info> for links.

  • Provide context within the link text.
  • Include additional descriptive info as a tooltip.
  • Do not use alt text for anything but describing images.
  • Do not override with ARIA roles when native semantics exist.
  • Ensure a valid target for <aria-labelledby> attributes.
  • Append link description with <aria-hidden> text.
