Summary
This Success Criterion requires that the purpose of any web page link can be understood even if you read it out of its surrounding context. This helps people using screen readers navigate and understand information more effectively.
Lyrics
VERSE 1:
In the plaza of the web, where the links all shine so bright
There’s a story to be told, in the sultry digital night
Two point four point four whispers, like a Cuban breeze so warm
Every link must speak its purpose, that’s the accessibility norm
No more “click here” mysteries, no more guessing games to play
Let the link text tell the story, guide the users on their way
CHORUS:
Tell me where you’re taking me, before I click away
Like a bolero’s gentle rhythm, let your purpose clearly say
Two point four point four, mi amor, makes the web a better place
When every link reveals its heart, we navigate with grace
VERSE 2:
Screen readers dance through pages, like musicians in the night
They need context, they need meaning, to make everything feel right
“Read more” leaves them wondering, but “Read more about salsa dancing”
Gives the full sweet melody, sets their understanding advancing
Whether in the same paragraph, or the sentence where it lives
Context makes the link complete, that’s the gift this guideline gives
CHORUS:
Tell me where you’re taking me, before I click away
Like a bolero’s gentle rhythm, let your purpose clearly say
Two point four point four, mi amor, makes the web a better place
When every link reveals its heart, we navigate with grace
BRIDGE/OUTRO:****
In this digital Havana, where we meet and share our songs
Clear link purpose builds the bridges, helps everyone belong
So write your links with passion, let their destinations show
Two point four point four reminds us – let the user always know
Like a Cuban son that moves you, accessibility’s the key
When we know where links will take us, then we all surf free
