Fix empty links in Squarespace
Give linked images alt text and check social icons and code blocks.
Checked against Squarespace's help docs on . Menu names can change; the source links below have the latest steps.
- Check the sample element in your dashboard to see which link has no text.
- Image blocks with a link: edit the block and add Image alt text that says where it goes.
- Social links: make sure each account in your social links settings is connected to a real profile URL, since the built-in icons are labeled by network.
- Links in code blocks or embeds: add visible text or an
aria-labelinside that code. - If a built-in Squarespace element fails and you can't change it, report it to Squarespace support with the page URL.
Check it: publish your change, then run a new scan from your dashboard. The issue should drop off the list.
