Managing Link Behavior

To control how links open:

Best Practices

  • Use descriptive link text
  • Keep URLs updated if pages change
  • Test links regularly
  • Consider user experience when choosing link behavior
  • Use anchor links for long pages
  • Add contact forms for privacy-conscious email options

Remember that user behavior and browser settings may affect how links function, regardless of your settings.
