Skip to main content
AccessibilityBrief

No way to skip repeated navigation

What this is

Keyboard users must tab through every menu link on each page before reaching the content. A "Skip to main content" link lets them jump past it.

Who it affects

  • Keyboard users
  • Screen reader users
  • People with motor disabilities

How to fix it

  1. Add a link as the first focusable element in `<body>` that points to the main content.
  2. Give the main content an `id` (for example `<main id="main">`).
  3. Hide the link visually until it receives focus, then show it.
