Hello everyone,
Naked links—URLs displayed in full without anchor text—might seem convenient, but they often harm readability and accessibility. Instead of descriptive text, readers see long strings like, which can be confusing and disrupt the flow. For SEO, naked links miss opportunities to convey context through keywords.
Screen readers also struggle with them, creating a poor experience for visually impaired users. Using meaningful anchor text improves clarity, engagement, and accessibility while maintaining professional presentation. While sometimes unavoidable, limiting naked links wherever possible benefits both readers and site performance.
