This makes it important for links to be distinctive when they receive focus so that these users are aware of what link, button, or form field they are on.
Keyboard only users do not use a mouse to click through links, instead they will use the tab key to navigate through links, buttons, and form fields. It is important that link text be succinct and descriptive so that these users can make sense of where the link will be taking them, especially with no context. In this case, the links lose context and only the link text is pulled up. Screen reader users will typically pull up a list of links present on a page and scan through that list instead. Screen readers can scan a whole page and read it aloud to a user, but this can be time consuming if a user is looking for specific information. There are various ways users may interact with links on a page.
