FAQ

What are skip links, and why do Divi sites need them?

Skip links let keyboard and assistive-technology users bypass repeated navigation and move directly to main content. Divi sites can need them because visual layouts often repeat headers, menus or modules before useful page content. Skip links improve navigation efficiency but still need correct placement and testing.

Why it matters

This answer helps site owners locate the real layer of a WordPress problem before applying a fix. WordPress issues often sit between hosting, DNS, themes, plugins, performance, accessibility, backups, schema, content and support responsibility.

What to check

  • Is the issue caused by hosting, DNS, WordPress, theme, plugin, cache, content or custom code?
  • Is there a current backup and rollback path?
  • Does the fix reduce risk or only hide the symptom?

Common mistake

Installing another plugin or changing hosting before identifying the real failure layer and protecting the site with backup and rollback.

Caveats

Low caveat risk: suitable for publication from the available source pack, but still avoid pricing, guarantees, unsupported service promises or claims not visible in the linked public ecosystem.
