为何需要跳到主要内容

Every page on your site starts with the same logo, search, and menu. Sighted users skim past it in a blink. But not everyone can skim. 👀

A keyboard user moves through a page one focusable element at a time with Tab. There is no glancing ahead, only stepping forward.

Imagine a nav with 20 links. To reach the article, a keyboard user presses Tab 20 times. Now multiply that by every page they visit.

A screen reader user often hears the whole nav read aloud before the content begins. Same repeated header, every single time.

WCAG calls this problem repeated blocks of content. The fix is letting people bypass them, which is why the criterion is named Bypass Blocks.

A skip link is a shortcut at the very top of the page. Activate it and focus jumps straight to the main content.

The skip link is usually the first focusable element on the page, so it is the first thing Tab reaches before any nav links.

Skip links help keyboard and screen reader users most, but anyone using switch devices or voice control feels the same relief.

Bypass Blocks is WCAG 2.4.1, a Level A requirement. That means it is the baseline, not a nice-to-have extra.

A skip link is just one anchor pointing at your content. Tiny effort, yet it saves real people dozens of keystrokes per visit. ✨

Skip links are the common fix, but proper landmarks and a clean heading outline also let users bypass repeated content.

Why does repeated content frustrate keyboard users?

Repeated headers cost keyboard users real effort. A skip link, the fix for WCAG Bypass Blocks, jumps them straight to the content. 🎯
