About Skip Links for Menus
From the official readme · v1.0.2Description
This WordPress plugin automatically generates skip links for every menu on your website, improving navigation for users relying on screen readers or keyboard navigation.
It also seamlessly integrates with the Easy Table of Contents plugin, adding skip links to table of contents menus when installed.
By implementing skip links, the plugin helps meet the WCAG 2.1 Level A “Bypass Blocks” criterion, ensuring users can easily skip repetitive content and navigate directly to the main content of a page.
Simplifying navigation in this way makes your WordPress site more accessible and user-friendly, providing a better experience for all visitors with just one click.
The Bypass Blocks Criterion
The intent of this Success Criterion is to allow people who navigate sequentially through content more direct access to the primary content of the Web page.
Specific Benefits of Success Criterion 2.4.1:
- When this Success Criterion is not satisfied, it may be difficult for people with some disabilities to reach the main content of a Web page quickly and easily.
- Screen reader users who visit several pages on the same site can avoid having to hear all heading graphics and dozens of navigation links on every page before the main content is spoken.
- People who use only the keyboard or a keyboard interface can reach content with fewer keystrokes. Otherwise, they might have to make dozens of keystrokes before reaching a link in the main content area. This can take a long time and may cause severe physical pain for some users.
- People who use screen magnifiers do not have to search through the same headings or other blocks of information to find where the content begins each time they enter a new page.
- People with cognitive limitations as well as people who use screen readers may benefit when links are grouped into lists.
