Image formatted as page link

    When I do a site audit on my site, I get the following error.

    “We detected that some links to resources are formatted with a a href HTML element. An tag with a a href attribute is used to link to other webpages and must only contain a page URL. Search engines will crawl your site from page to page by following these HTML page links. When following a page link that contains a resource, for example, an image, the returned page will not contain anything except an image. This may confuse search engines and will indicate that your site has poor architecture.”

    It is suggested that I fix it by doing this:

    “Replace a href links with tags necessary for specific resources. For example, if you’d like to add an image, use an img/ tag with an alt attribute describing the contents of your image.”

    Is this possible at all????

    Hi @kiwihawk,

    Could you please provide us with an example of such HTML construction that it reports? If these are the links that allow our lightbox open the images then there isn’t much that can be done here as this is the most common way how any lightbox is functioning ( using a link that triggers the full-size image ).
