How to fix skip link on Wix

Steps for Wix

1. Wix's standard editor does not expose raw HTML for layout templates. The most reliable fix is to use the Wix Accessibility Wizard: in the Wix Editor, open the left panel → click the Accessibility icon (person icon) → run the Accessibility Wizard, which will flag missing skip links.
2. If you are on Wix Studio (formerly Editor X), go to the Pages & Menus panel, select your Master Page, and add a 'Skip to Content' button element as the very first element in the DOM order, linking it to the anchor of your main content section.
3. Set the skip link element's visibility to show only on keyboard focus using the Interactions panel: add a Focus interaction that changes the element's opacity/position from hidden to visible.
4. For full HTML control, migrate to Wix Studio and use the Custom Code feature (Settings → Custom Code) to inject the skip link markup and CSS into the `<head>` / `<body>` — note this is advanced and may conflict with Wix's own DOM.
5. Test by pressing Tab on the published site and verifying the skip link appears and its target is reachable.

What is skip link?

A "skip link" is a hidden (but keyboard-focusable) hyperlink that sits at the very top of every page, typically labeled "Skip to main content." When activated, it jumps the user past your navigation menus straight to the page's main content area. For this to work, the link's `href` must point to an element on the same page that actually exists and can receive focus — that element is the "skip link target." When the target is missing or has no matching `id`, the skip link goes nowhere, breaking the shortcut entirely.

Keyboard-only users (people who cannot use a mouse) and screen-reader users must tab through every navigation link on every page load if no working skip link exists — on a store with 20 nav items, that means 20 extra keystrokes to reach the first product. This is a WCAG 2.1 Level A failure (Success Criterion 2.4.1 — Bypass Blocks), meaning it exposes your store to accessibility complaints, lawsuits (ADA Title III in the US, EAA in the EU, AODA in Canada), and poor audit scores. Fixing it is a quick-win code change that immediately improves usability for millions of people who rely on keyboard navigation, and signals technical quality to accessibility auditors and automated scanners alike.
