Checks for the presence of a "Skip to main content" link for keyboard users.
A 'skip link' is a link, usually the very first item on the page, that allows keyboard users to bypass long lists of navigation links and jump directly to the main content.
It's a major convenience for keyboard-only users. Without it, they have to tab through the entire header and navigation on every single page load to get to the content.
A missing skip link creates a repetitive and frustrating experience for keyboard users.
