- <p>This link's text is:<br> <strong>https://cja.org/</strong></p> <p><a href="https://webaim.org/techniques/hypertext/link_text" title="Opens in new tab" target="_blank">Links should be meaningful and concise</a>. Readers often skim by link titles. This is especially true of screen reader users, who navigate using a list of on-page links.</p> <p>A linked URL breaks this pattern; the reader has to read the preceding paragraph to figure out the link's purpose from context.</p> <ul> <li>Meaningful and concise link: "Tips for writing meaningful links"</li> <li>Linked URL, as pronounced by a screen reader: "H T T P S colon forward-slash forward-slash example dot com forward-slash tips forward-slash meaningful-links"</li> </ul>
