Links without a readable name
What it means and why it matters
Icon links (cart, social, logo) without text are announced only as "link". Users can't know where they lead (WCAG 2.4.4, 4.1.2).
How to fix it
Add visible text or an aria-label, e.g. aria-label="Shopping cart". For image links, give the image a meaningful alt text.
Code example
Before
<a href="/cart"><svg class="icon-cart"></svg></a>After
<a href="/cart" aria-label="Shopping cart (2 items)"><svg class="icon-cart" aria-hidden="true"></svg></a>Find this error on your website
