Bypass Repetitive Content
Provide mechanisms to skip repeated content blocks for easier keyboard navigation. This helps users, especially those relying on keyboard navigation, to move efficiently through pages without having to tab through repetitive elements like headers and navigation menus.
Acceptance Criteria
Users can skip repetitive content blocks that appear on multiple pages.
Examples
• Include “Skip to main content” links at the top of the page.
• Use ARIA landmarks to define page regions.
Exceptions
Tips
• Position “Skip to content” links visually off-screen but accessible to screen readers.
• Ensure ARIA landmarks are correctly implemented to define main, navigation, and footer regions.
How to test?
1. Navigate the page using the keyboard.
2. Verify that “Skip to content” links or similar mechanisms are available and functional.
3. Ensure screen reader users can easily bypass repetitive blocks using ARIA landmarks or provided mechanisms.
