axe-core rule: bypass
There is no way to skip repeated navigation
What it is
The page offers no mechanism (skip link, landmark, or headings) to bypass blocks of content repeated on every page, such as the header and navigation menu.
Who it blocks
Keyboard users must tab through every navigation link on every page before reaching content. On a large menu that can be dozens of keystrokes per page.
How to fix it
Add a "skip to main content" link as the first focusable element on the page, pointing at the main element. It can be visually hidden until focused.
Example fix
<!-- First element inside <body> -->
<a href="#main" class="skip-link">Skip to main content</a>
...
<main id="main">...</main>
/* CSS: hidden until keyboard focus */
.skip-link {
position: absolute;
left: -9999px;
}
.skip-link:focus {
left: 8px;
top: 8px;
z-index: 1000;
