# No way to skip repeated content

`a11y/bypass` · severity **warn** · category Accessibility · detected by `void a11y` and `void audit`

## 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

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