    Descriptive Link Text

    Checks that link text is descriptive and not generic like "click here".

    accessibility
    Medium Priority

    What is this check?

    This check looks for generic link text like 'Click Here', 'Read More', or 'Learn More'.

    Why is it important?

    Screen reader users often navigate by pulling up a list of all links on a page. If all the links are 'Click Here', the list is meaningless. Link text should be descriptive and make sense out of context.

    What is the impact?

    Generic link text makes navigation difficult and inefficient for screen reader users.

    Example Implementation

    <!-- BAD -->
    To learn about our services, <a href="/services">click here</a>.
    
    <!-- GOOD -->
    Learn more about our <a href="/services">web design services</a>.
