Make Links Navigable with HTML Access Keys:
HTML offers the accesskey attribute to specify a shortcut key to activate or bring focus to an element. Adding an accesskey attribute can make navigation more efficient for keyboard-only users.
HTML5 allows this attribute to be used on any element, but it's particularly useful when it's used with interactive ones. This includes links, buttons, and form controls.
Here's an example:
<button accesskey="b">Important Button</button>
Give Links Meaning by Using Descriptive Link Text:
Screen reader users have various options for what type of content their device reads.
These options include skipping to (or over) landmark elements, jumping to the main content, or getting a page summary from the headings.
Another option is to only hear the links available on a page.
Screen readers do this by reading the link text, or what's between the anchor (a) tags.
Having a list of "click here" or "read more" links isn't helpful.
Instead, use brief but descriptive text within the a tags to provide more meaning for these users.
