Fix issues from Siteimprove

Siteimprove scans for and reports a variety of accessibility issues on your website. Here are tips for addressing some of these issues.

Same link text, different destinations

It's been a common practice to introduce something, such as a news item, and provide a link to the full story with generic link text that says "Read more." However, with multiple links on a page that all say "Read More", it becomes problematic for people using assistive technology. Depending on the context, you will see the following Siteimprove issues:

• Siteimprove: Do these links (in the same context) go to the same page? or
• Siteimprove: Are these links identical? 

To learn about fixing these issues, go to Writing accessible link text.
