Check click outcome and HTML role
Find fake links and infinite URL spaces
Start with keyboard and browser checks: real navigation needs an address, while an action needs an appropriate button. Then crawl to see whether filters, calendars and parameters generate unbounded combinations.
Simple check
- Tab through the page and note every interactive element.
- For each, determine whether it opens an address or changes current-page state.
- Use Inspect to review tag,
href,type, name and ARIA state. - Activate with mouse and keyboard and save the resulting URL or interface change.
- Repeat on an adjacent page to determine whether the issue is template-wide.
How to classify a finding
| Situation | Level | Action |
|---|---|---|
| A link opens useful content and a button performs an action | Normal | Check accessible name and focus. |
href="#" or javascript: opens interface state | Semantic error | Use a button. |
| A filter generates many low-value duplicate URLs | Crawl issue | Control URL space. |
| Useful content is reachable only through a JS action | Access lost | Restore a normal link. |
tel:, mailto: or useful PDF | Not automatically wrong | Review purpose and label. |
Technical check
[...document.querySelectorAll('a, button')].map(el => ({
tag: el.tagName, text: el.textContent.trim(),
href: el.getAttribute('href'), type: el.getAttribute('type')
}));Use a crawler separately to compare unique parameter URL counts by template. One example does not prove an infinite space.
Discrepancies and scope
JavaScript may replace the DOM after load, while a non-rendering crawler sees different markup. Inspect both source and rendered HTML. nofollow alone does not repair the wrong element or guarantee that crawling stops.
