How to Make Website Links Understandable Out of Context

Repeated labels such as “click here” do not explain destination when links are read in a screen reader link list or scanned quickly.

Checks to make

Use concise link text that identifies the destination or action, distinguish repeated links to different targets, and preserve descriptive context for downloads. Test with a screen reader’s link list and avoid using the URL alone when a useful label is clearer.
