Link Text Checker

Find vague link wording — "click here", "read more", bare URLs and duplicated labels.

Screen reader users frequently pull up a list of every link on a page with no surrounding text, so "click here" and "read more" become meaningless. This checker flags vague wording, empty links, bare URLs read out character by character, identical text pointing to different places, and new tabs opened without warning.
