Do these links go to the same page? Are these links identical?

It's been a common practice to introduce something, such as a news item, and provide a link to the full story with generic link text that says "Read more." However, with multiple links on a page that all say "Read More", it becomes problematic for people using assistive technology.

Depending on the context, you will see the following Siteimprove issues:

• Siteimprove: Do these links (in the same context) go to the same page?
• Siteimprove: Are these links identical?

To learn about fixing these issues, go to Writing accessible link text.

Policy Content Type: Do these links go to the same page? Are these links identical?

The Policy Content Type comes with two sets of "Previous" and "Next" navigation buttons. There's one set at the top of the page and another at the bottom. They both serve the same purpose, to make it easy to go to the next and previous pages. However, Siteimprove flags the second set of buttons with the following issue:

Do page sections with the same name serve the same purpose?

Because each set of buttons does, indeed serve the same purpose, this is not an error. You can safely use Siteimprove's review process to dismiss this issue.

To dismiss this potential issue for other policy pages on your site, for the CSS Selector for review use:

.book-forward-back nav
