CriticalUsers 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.

Very ImportantAvoid 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.

Very ImportantOmitting 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 }

Very ImportantUse 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.
