1. Why can’t I just use "Click Here" or "Read More"?

People using screen readers often use a shortcut to generate a list of all links on a page. If a user hears: "Link, Click Here. Link, Click Here. Link, Read More. Link, Click Here," they have no idea where any of those links go.

2. What is "Accessible Link Text"?

Link text should be descriptive, specific, and understandable when read out of context. The text itself should tell the user what they will get when they click.

Examples:

❌ Bad: [Click here] to download the PDF.

✅ Good: Download the [2024 Annual Financial Report (PDF)].

❌ Bad: [Read more] about our new policy.

✅ Good: [Read our new policy on remote work].
