Link Accessibility Errors
WCAG 2.4.4, 3.2.5 — Link Purpose and Change on Request.
Empty link
This anchor element has an href but contains no text, no aria-label, and no child content. Screen readers announce it as a link but cannot describe its purpose.
Non-descriptive link text ("Click here" / "Read more")
These links use generic text that conveys no meaning out of context. Screen reader users navigating a list of links hear "click here, click here, read more" with no way to distinguish them.

Redundant adjacent link and button to same URL
A link and a button sit next to each other and both navigate to the same URL. Screen reader users encounter two separate interactive elements for the same action.
Link opens new window without warning
This link has target="_blank" but provides no visual or programmatic indication that it will open in a new window/tab. Users are unexpectedly taken to a new context.
Image link with no accessible name
This link contains only an image with no alt text. The link has no aria-label either. Screen readers announce a link but cannot describe where it goes.
