Link Purpose (In Context) Analyzer

Screen-reader users often navigate by Links List. If every link says "Read more", the list is useless. This tool flags vague link text (WCAG 2.4.4) and exposes repetitive link texts that destroy navigation context.

Tool interface

Introduction

Vague and duplicated link text is one of the most common content accessibility failures. This analyzer makes both problems visible and quantifies link diversity.

How it works

  • Computes each link's accessible name (aria-label or inner text).
  • Flags names matching a vague-phrase dictionary.
  • Groups identical names to reveal repetition.
  • Computes a Link Diversity score (unique ÷ total).

Privacy

All analysis is local via DOMParser. No upload, no account, no API key.

Limitations

  • Cannot always judge whether surrounding context clarifies a vague link (WCAG permits context); flags are advisory.

FAQ

Is "Read more" always a failure?

Not strictly — WCAG allows purpose from context — but in a Links List the context is lost, so unique descriptive text is strongly recommended.

Is my markup uploaded?

No. Everything runs locally.
