No way to skip repeated content

a11y/bypasswarnvoid a11yupdated

Why it matters

Without a skip link or landmarks, keyboard users must tab through the entire header and navigation on every page before they reach the content.

How to fix it

Add a "Skip to content" link as the first focusable element that targets <main id="content">, and use semantic landmarks.

Example

tsx
<a class="skip-link" href="#content">Skip to content</a>
