Skip-to-content link

live factor #58 · Accessibility · scoring impl: implemented · weight 0.7%

What we measure

A "Skip to main content" link lets keyboard users jump past your navigation on every page. It's a small thing but a required pattern for accessible sites.

How to improve your score

Add `<a href="#main" class="skip-link">Skip to content</a>` as the first focusable element of the page, with CSS that hides it until keyboard-focused.

Data source

Implementation notes

Check the first `<a>` element in tab order — verify the text and target.

Scoring

Scoring formulas are versioned with the methodology. The current method (v1.1.0) maps raw measurements to pass, warn, fail. Factor weights determine how much each contributes to the composite — see the methodology index for the full table.
