What the standard says
A mechanism is available to bypass blocks of content that are repeated on multiple web pages.
Why it matters
Without a skip link, a keyboard user tabs through forty navigation items on every single page before reaching the content.
What a failure looks like
- failsNo skip link, and no landmarks to jump between.
- failsA skip link that exists but is `display: none`, so it never receives focus.
How to fix it
- doPut a "Skip to content" link first in the DOM, visually hidden until focused.
- doAdd `<main>`, `<nav>` and `<header>` so landmark navigation works as a second route.
How A11ySignal checks it
