Click Here Report

Last updated

Content Sections

Link text should say where the link goes. Screen reader users often jump from link to link and hear only the link text, so ten links all called "click here" tell them nothing. Search engines also use link text to understand the page behind it.

Open the report under Real Time Reports > Click Here. It lists pages with a link whose text is "click here".

How to fix it

  1. In the report, find the page and select Edit in its row.
  2. Under Content Sections, select Edit on the section that holds the "click here" link.
  3. Select the words "click here" and type words that say where the link goes. The link stays on the new words.
  4. Remove any words the sentence no longer needs, so it reads naturally.
  5. Select Save at the top of the edit form.

Good to know

  • "Read more", "more info" and "learn more" on their own have the same problem, even if the report doesn't list them. Add what the link is about.
  • After you save, the report updates in the background, usually within a few minutes. Reload the report to check.
