[Resolved] Links do not have discernible name error on google lighthouse

[Westin]

Hey guys,

I’m receiving these errors when checking for accessibility and wondering if these are stemming from something from my blocks. I’m wondering if I added them incorrectly or if this is a known issue or something else? Any help resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Westin,

That’s odd, you have empty <a> tags in you footer links.

Can you provide admin login credentials so we can take a closer look at this issue?

Hi Fernando,

The requested information was provided, thanks for your assistance.

[Fernando]

Thank you!

This is odd. Some of your links in the footer have multiple links as well. It’s as if you had a previous link, and once you edited it, it wasn’t removed which shouldn’t be the case.

To test, can you first try #1 here?: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/debugging-tips/

If this doesn’t work, can you try recreating your links to test? Try recreating the ones in the Learn column first to test.

Hi Fernando,

Thanks for the suggestion. I created a staging site and disabled all plugins and it went away, and it looks like the culprit is perfmatters. Should I reach out to them with the issue?

[Fernando]

I see. Glad you found the issue! Yes, reaching out to them would be a good idea.

[Westin]

Ok, thanks for your assistance.

You’re welcome Westin!
