Your Links Are Added by JavaScript

AI Readiness Analyzer

What is this warning?

Most links on this page are inserted by JavaScript, so a crawler that does not execute scripts cannot follow them. On a navigation or category page this means everything downstream of it goes undiscovered.

How to Fix This Issue

How to Fix It

The Problem

Navigation is built client-side, often with a handler rather than a real link:

<div onclick="navigate('/docs')">Docs</div>

The Solution

Use real anchors with href attributes in the served HTML. A router can still intercept the click:

<a href="/docs">Docs</a>

Why This Works

A crawler discovers pages by following href attributes it can see. Real anchors in the response make your site traversable whether or not scripts run.

SEO Impact

This issue can affect your site's search engine rankings and user experience. Addressing it promptly helps ensure optimal performance and visibility in search results.
