Tools and requirements

  • Keyboard
  • Screen Reader

Test procedure

On a set of web pages within a website or web application, if there is any content that repeats multiple times, ensure that there is a link that can be used to skip over the repeated content. For most cases, it should be the first link you come across when you hit the TAB key once using a keyboard, or the first element a screen reader announces. That link should direct you to the first element after all repeated content.

Repeated content includes logos, navigation elements, search fields, and text that is located in the same place on multiple pages.
