A.18 WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 2.4.9 − Link Purpose (Link Only)

Make sure that the purpose of each link can be recognised from the link text alone.

Before Rectification

A webpage sample containing a 'Find out more' button.

The button "Find out more" only briefly describes the purpose of this link.

After Rectification

A webpage sample containing a button to 'Find out more about Customer Experience Testing'.

This image shows a link button which clearly describes its purpose, i.e. "Find out more about Customer Experience Testing", instead of just "Find out more" as shown in the "Before Rectification" image above.
