In this case the error is caused by the absence of the image alt<\/strong> (alternative text). The purpose is that when the image, button, icon fails to load, the alternative text will be displayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to fix<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To fix the \u201cLinks do not have a discernible name\u201d error, you need to ensure that each link on your site has clear text content and accurately describes the content of that link. Here are some ways to fix this error:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Name the link according to its content: Use words or phrases that accurately describe the link's content to create a name for the link. For example: \u201cRead more about product X\u201d instead of \u201cClick here to read more\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Use the \u201ctitle\u201d and \u201caria-label\u201d attributes: Use these attributes to provide more information about the link's content to users when they hover over the link without clicking.
    For example: <a href=\"#\" title=\"\u0110\u1ecdc th\u00eam v\u1ec1 s\u1ea3n ph\u1ea9m X\">\u0110\u1ecdc th\u00eam<\/a><\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. If you use images or icons to create links, make sure they have \u201calt\u201d and \u201caria-label\u201d attributes to provide information to users about the content of the link.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    I use Wordpress so just go to "media<\/strong>\u201d -> \u201cedit\u201d<\/strong> -> fill \u201cAlternative Text<\/strong>" is to be.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Add
