Element	Text	Issue	Suggested Fix
https://go.unl.edu/k0c2	Learn More	generic text	Replace with descriptive text
Before: Learn More Suggested: K0c2

212 links and buttons have descriptive text

Generic link text like 'click here' doesn't describe the destination.

https://go.unl.edu/k0c2 ("Learn 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.
