Links with vague text

What this is

3 links use text like "click here" or "read more". Screen reader users often list all links on a page, where these make no sense.

Who it affects

  • Screen reader users
  • People with cognitive disabilities

How to fix it

  1. Rewrite the link text so it describes the destination on its own, e.g. "Read our pricing guide".
  2. If the design needs short text, keep it visible and add the context in an `aria-label` that starts with the visible words.
