How do I fix redundant link accessibility?
An Example of a Redundant Link (and How to Fix It)
We can fix this issue in HTML with two basic techniques: Wrap both elements in the same link (or a element). Provide a null text alternative for the image, along with accurate link text.
What are redundant links?
Link-level redundancy essentially requires two links to operate in an active/active or active/backup setting so that if one link fails, the other can take over and restore traffic forwarding that had been previously sent over the failed link. Failure on any given access link should not result in a loss of connectivity.
Do links have to be underlined Wcag?
Best practice is to underline all links in content. However, if your links are not underlined, web accessibility guidelines (WCAG 2.0) require link text be discernable from body text by at least a 3:1 contrast ratio.
Are skip links mandatory?
Most web browsers provide keyboard shortcuts to move the user focus to the top of the page, so if a set of navigation links is provided at the bottom of a web page providing a "skip" link may be unnecessary.
