The “Inadequate Identical Links - Equal Destination Check” evaluates whether there are groups of links that share the same accessible name and contextual surroundings, but lead to different targets.
Example outcome
I found 1 group of links with the same accessible name and context but different targets.
Impact
Visual Impairments: When navigating by links, a screen reader might just read a list of “Learn more”, “Learn more”, “Learn more” — with no context about what changes between them. This makes navigation guesswork and lowers confidence.
Cognitive Disabilities: People who depend on predictable structure may not realize they’re being sent to different places, leading to confusion or frustration. It increases memory burden — users must remember where each “Learn more” leads.
Fixes
To address inadequate identical links:
Identify the links with the same accessible name but different destination.
Use different accessible names for links with different destinations.
