What does clicking on a hyperlink do?
When you click, tap, or select a hyperlink, the browser leaves the current page you are viewing and opens the link for the new page. For example, you could click any of the links below to find more information related to hyperlinks.
Why one should not click on the hyperlink?
Randomly clicking links or going to unknown websites on your computer, phone, or even smart TV can put you at risk of covertly downloaded software intended to damage or disable your computer or other devices. If you surf the web to an unsafe place and malware is installed, you may be in trouble.
Should you use click here for links?
It can be confusing about what the link is or where it will lead you. While this may seem like a good phrase to use to make it obvious for users to click a link or button, using “click here” is actually bad for usability, accessibility and search engine optimization (SEO).
