Links - Accessibility Quick Guide

Links are used to create connections between .html documents and websites. Screen reader users can pull up a list of all links on the page and tab through all the links. If the link text is not meaningful then the screen reader user will not know the link's purpose.

Guidance

1. Never use "Click Here", "Read More", "Learn More" links that are not meaningful! (Learn more about what?)
2. If the visible link text is not meaningful then you can use an aria-label or aria-labelledby attribute to modify the accessible name of the link. e.g. aria-label="More about Auto & Home Insurance".
