Beskrivning
A lightweight and user-friendly plugin designed to improve accessibility by resolving focus management issues with internal links.
Internal links, like those structured as /About-page#our-team, navigate to specific sections on the same page or specific locations on other pages. While the browser scrolls to the targeted section, individuals with disabilities who use assistive tools like screen readers or magnifiers often encounter an unexpected reset to the top of the page instead of being moved to the correct section.
This plugin addresses this issue by automatically adding the tabindex attribute with a value of -1 to the target of the link if it’s not an interactive element, such as a heading. By doing so, the plugin ensures that users relying on assistive technologies can seamlessly navigate to the intended content without disruption.
Features include:
– Automatic focus management for internal links.
– Improved navigation experience for assistive technology users.
– Seamless integration with your WordPress website.
Whether you’re optimizing your website for accessibility compliance or improving the experience for all users, Tab-able Links A11y has you covered!
