544 links and buttons have descriptive text
Generic link text like 'click here' doesn't describe the destination.
("More"); /register/ ("here"); /register/ ("here"); /register/ ("here"); /register/ ("here"); /register/ ("here"); /register/ ("here"); /register/ ("here"); /register/ ("here"); /register/ ("here") (+56 more)
Why this matters
Generic anchor text ('click here', 'read more', 'learn more') tells screen readers and search engines nothing about the destination.
Learn more ▾ ▴
Out-of-context lists of links read by AT (one navigation pattern) become useless when every link says 'click here'. Use the destination's title or topic as anchor text. Doubles as SEO win — Google passes anchor-text relevance to the destination.

Icon-only buttons need an aria-label so screen readers can announce them.

Why this matters
Buttons with no accessible text (icon-only, no aria-label) can't be activated by voice control or understood by screen readers.

Skipping heading levels breaks the document outline. Screen readers may interpret missing levels as structural errors.
Why this matters
Skipping heading levels breaks the document outline — screen-reader users lose track of section nesting.
Learn more ▾ ▴
Screen reader users navigate by jumping between headings (H1 → H2 → H3). Skipping (H1 → H3) breaks the sense of hierarchy. Use sequential levels even if you don't like the default styling — restyle with CSS instead. WCAG 1.3.1 (Info and Relationships) treats this as an A failure.
