161 private links
I argued more and more about the utility for more than one skip link on some websites. Here a real use case example. This website has 3 skip links at the date of 2022-02-19 when you press tabs:
- Skip to main content
- Jump to all topics
- Jump to list of all articles
One point I find negative however: the last link "Jump to list of all articles" is redundant with the first link of the main menu, 2 tabs further. After thinking about it, this may be due to the versions for small displays that don't allow to navigate the menu with the keyboard o_0
I remember that in the case of this site, having two escape links seems quite practical:
- Skip to main content
- Jump to all topics → concerns the categories of articles on the site
Then by pressing tabs successively, we get to the main navigation.
So here is a site that demonstrates the usefulness of skip links with a nuanced example (2 examples of justified skip links, with another example of superfluous links).
