	Users should be able to quickly look at each link and tell where it goes.	Usability.gov 10:1	3 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.

	Avoid underlined text - people will click on it and think it's a broken link.	Usability.gov 10:4	1 pages
	Use something other than underlining for highlighting text, because it looks like a link, and users become frustrated when the "link" does not work.

	Omitting img width or height attributes makes the page layout jump about as images load.	Usability.gov 14:3 W3C	11 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 }

	The img width and height attributes don't match the actual image size. This means the image will be distorted or resize during loading.	W3C	1 pages
	Image https://www.w3.org/WAI/demos/bad/before/img/smzappa2.jpg actual dimensions: 80 x 94 pixels. https://www.w3.org/WAI/demos/bad/before/news.html	Line 200 221
	Use background images sparingly and make sure they are simple, especially behind text.	Usability.gov 14:1	6 pages
	Background images can make it difficult for users to read foreground text. A single, large, complex background image (including a picture) can substantially slow page download rates.

	Use at least a 12-point font on all web pages.	Usability.gov 11:8	11 pages
	For users over age 65, it may be better to use at least fourteen-point fonts. Never use less than nine-point font on a Web site. The following are all smaller than 12 point: <p style="font-size: 11pt;" > <p style="font-size: 15px;" > <p style="font-size: small;" > <font size="2" > <font size="-1" >
