# Implement "Skip to Content" links

Skip links allow keyboard and screen reader users to bypass repetitive navigation links, saving them significant time and effort.

## Quick Reference

- Add a skip link as the first focusable element
- Ensure it's visible when focused
- Link it to the main content container ID

## Check

Verify if a skip link exists and is the first focusable element in the document.

## Fix

Add a skip link that becomes visible on focus and targets the main content area.

## Explain

Explain how skip links benefit users who navigate via keyboard by allowing them to bypass repetitive menus.

## Code Review

Review the rendered markup and interactive states that affect Implement "Skip to Content" links. Flag exact elements, roles, labels, focus behavior, or keyboard interactions that violate the rule, and note how to verify the fix with browser accessibility tooling or assistive tech.
