This is practical accessibility guidance for first-pass triage. It is not legal advice, a formal audit, WCAG certification, or a conformance guarantee.
What this means
A link appears to have no readable name.
Why it matters
Users need to know where a link goes before activating it.
How to fix it
- Add clear visible link text.
- For image links, add alt text that names the destination.
- Use aria-label only when visible text is not practical.
What automated checks can detect
A checker can detect links with no text or common accessible name.
What still needs manual review
Confirm the accessible name is useful when links are read out of context.
Automation cannot guarantee link wording is clear for the user journey.
