Repetitive or Unnecessary Navigation Required Before Main Content
Short Description
Main content is hidden behind extraneous content
Long Description
- When navigating from one page to another, the new page contains the same information from the previous page.
- This makes the user think that they have not gone to the intended location.
- A screen reader or magnifier user only knows the content at the current cursor location, this means that the user might not realize they have been placed in a new window until they navigate to the new content. Having to navigate through repetitive content is tedious.
