Links, bookmarks & tab order

WCAG 2.4.3 · 2.4.4 · A

Automatic
deterministic fixer, re-verified

What the rule requires

Links need accessible names, long documents benefit from bookmarks (a W3C technique for 2.4.5 Multiple Ways), and keyboard focus must move through a page in an order that makes sense. All three are structural — and all three are machine-fixable.

How Proof clears it

  1. Links registered and named from their visible text; bare URLs, emails, and phone numbers become real link annotations.
  2. Bookmarks generated from headings on long documents, with outline presence checked against document length.
  3. Tab order set to structure so keyboard focus follows the reading order.

What to expect

These are deterministic passes, re-verified by the rule engine like every automatic fix. Bookmarks are generated only where document length warrants them.
