Fix empty and broken links

Screen readers announce empty links as just 'link' with no context—users have no idea where they lead or what they do, making navigation impossible.

Quick Reference

• Every link must have accessible text (visible or via aria-label)
• Icon-only links need aria-label describing the destination
• Empty anchor tags are completely inaccessible—always add content
• Use visually-hidden text when visual labels aren't desired

Check

Scan for links with no text content (empty anchor tags, icon-only links without labels). Verify all links have accessible names via text content, aria-label, or aria-labelledby. Check for broken link destinations.

Fix

Add descriptive text to empty links. For icon-only links, add aria-label describing the destination. Use visually-hidden text if visible labels are not desired. Remove or fix broken links.
