Links
- Some (5.2%) of links in this site could be defined better.
- 6 links use duplicate text to point to different pages.
Recommendations
- Links should not repeat the same text to link to different pages. Usually this is a problem where a link is non-descriptive (e.g. 'More').
- Note that it is possible to change the text a link points to without changing the appearance of the link. For example, 'Read more' could be a valid link, if you add a description into the 'title' attribute to the tag.
