Enable Users to Skip Repetitive Navigation Links
Guideline:
To aid those using assistive technologies, provide a means for users to skip repetitive navigation links.
Comment:
Developers frequently place a series of routine navigational links at a standard location - usually across the top, bottom or side of a page. For people using assistive devices, it can be a tedious and time-consuming task to wait for all of the repeated links to be read. Users should be able to avoid these links when they desire to do so.
