Write descriptive text that describes the destination of the link and avoid ambiguous text such as click here.
Steps to write accessible link text for your links
- Write link text that describes the destination or function of the link, such as the title of the destination page.
- Avoid ambiguous link text such as click here. Links are often read or scanned out of context and ambiguous links do not tell users where the link goes.
- Write consistent text, avoid using different text for links that go to the same destination.
