WCAG 2.0 Guideline 2.4.4

The text alternative (alt text) guideline is based on the first Web Content Accessible Guide (WCAG) 2.0 principle, Level A: Principle 2 – Operable - User interface components and navigation must be operable.

The WCAG 2.0 Guideline 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context) was created based on the above principle, stating: The purpose of each link can be determined from the link text alone, or from the link text together with its programmatically determined link context, except where the purpose of the link would be ambiguous to users in general. (Level A)

Please take this time to review all hyperlinks on your website and in your website documents to ensure that the purpose of each link can be determined from the link text alone.
