Link text must describe where the link goes

On each page, the check reads every a[href] element that assistive technology can perceive, skipping links with another role such as role="button". It takes the accessible name, so aria-label or a linked image’s alt counts, lowercases it and turns punctuation, arrows and ellipses into spaces. Only names equal to one of 57 phrases in English, German, French, Spanish and Danish are reported, so “Read more about returns” passes. A link whose aria-describedby resolves to text also passes.

The second part uses each page’s visible links, at most 600, recorded at the first configured viewport, desktop by default. Same-name links on one page that lead to different destinations give one finding per name and page. Case, a trailing slash and relative spelling do not make a new destination, and /products/<slug> paths match by slug alone. Listed phrases and javascript: links are skipped here, and links on different pages are never compared.

The check does not judge whether a name is clear in context.
