Description
The accessible name of the detected link is vague and does not adequately describe its destination or purpose. Vague link names can confuse users making it difficult for them to understand where the link will take them or what action will be performed upon activation. Ensure link text and labels are accessible and concise.
How to fix
Improve the link's accessible name by providing clear, descriptive text that indicates its purpose, such as changing an inaccessible link name: <a href="page.html">Click here</a> to a more concise link name: <a href="page.html">Learn more about our services</a>.
