Libration › Resources › WCAG › 2.4.9

Principle 2 Operable · Guideline 2.4: Navigable

2.4.9 Link Purpose (Link Only)

The link text alone must reveal the destination.

Level AAA

What this means in practice

Stricter than 2.4.4: context no longer counts. “Click here” is finally out.

Normative wording

The binding text lives at the W3C. What you read here is our own faithful rendering – not a quotation.
