Improve SEO and Accessibility by Adding Descriptive Anchor Text

Link Analyzer

What is this warning?

A link on your page has no text. This is a problem for both users and search engines. Screen readers for visually impaired users won't know what the link is for, and search engines won't have any context about the page being linked to. This is often caused by a link being placed on an image without an `alt` attribute.

How to Fix This Issue

How to Fix It

The Problem

<a href="/products"></a>
<a href="/products"><img src="product.jpg"></a> <!-- Missing alt text -->

The Solution

Provide clear, descriptive text inside the link. If the link is on an image, the image's `alt` text will act as the anchor text.

<a href="/products">View Our Products</a>
<a href="/products"><img src="product.jpg" alt="A photo of our new product"></a>

Why This Works

Descriptive anchor text helps search engines understand the content of the linked page, which can improve its ranking. It's also essential for accessibility, allowing all users to navigate your site effectively.
