Links that don't say where they go
Links like "click here" or an image with no text are read as "link". Screen-reader users navigate by jumping between links, so these are dead ends.
Who it leaves out: blind people (screen readers)🔎 also SEO
How to fix it
Give each link words that say where it leads. Code included where the destination is clear.
In the code
Give the link text that says where it goes ("View pricing", not "click here"); for icon links add aria-label.
