Topic: links do not have a discernible name

in my pagespeed insights i’m getting the issue of links do not have a discernible name. One instance seems to be coming from my post template in my related posts where I have put the whole container as a link. I think I need to fill out the aria label section but i am not sure what to write in this box.

Also, I am getting the same issue coming from my social icons in my footer. I guess I have to do something similar again but not sure what values to put for them.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

Try this method to add aria-label to the container link.

1. Add this PHP code:

add_filter( 'render_block_generateblocks/container', function( $block_content, $block ) {
    if ( 
      !is_admin() && 
      ! empty( $block['attrs']['className'] ) && 
      strpos( $block['attrs']['className'], 'my-query' ) !== false 
    ) {
      $post_id = get_the_ID();
      $title = get_the_title( $post_id );
      $block_content = str_replace('class="gb-container-link"', 'aria-label="'. $title .'" class="gb-container-link"' ,$block_content);
    }
  
    return $block_content;
 }, 10, 2 );

2. Add a class to the post template block in the query loop, eg. my-query, note if you want to use other classes, make sure you change it in the PHP code as well 🙂

Let me know if this helps!

Hi,

Thanks for that. Am I not able to just put a value into the box shown in the image? Or will this way not work?

For the image? I thought you wanted to add aria-label to the container link, no?

No for the post template/container. In the screenshot I sent the aria link option is in the box for the container link. I assumed you could just put a value in here and it would apply to the container?

That option is not dynamic, if you fill that option, every aria-label will be the same.

And isn’t the container link the only link in the post template?
