CriticalUsers should be able to quickly look at each link and tell where it goes. Usability.gov 10:1 2 pages
Don't use generic link labels like "click here" or "read more" because they're hard to tell apart when users scan a page.

Very ImportantOmitting img width or height attributes makes the page layout jump about as images load. Usability.gov 14:3 W3C 2 pages
This makes the page very hard to read or click while it's loading. Fix by adding width and height attributes to the img tag matching the image dimensions. In responsive layouts, specifying width and height prevents layout jumping because the browser can pre-calculate the final image size when CSS like this is used: img { max-width: 100%; height: auto }

Very ImportantProvide a search option on each page of content-rich web sites. Usability.gov 17:4 2 pages
A search option should be provided on all pages where it may be useful - users should not have to return to the homepage to conduct a search. Search engines can be helpful on content-rich web sites, but do not add value on other types of sites.
