Empty links (WCAG 2.4.4)
Links with no accessible name announce as just “link.” How Curbcut detects them and common theme patterns that cause them.
What fails
An <a> with no visible text, no aria-label, no aria-labelledby, no title, and no img with alt is an empty link.
Common causes
Icon-only buttons styled as links, social icons without labels, and product cards where the only content is an image missing alt.
