How to Automatically add Skip Links to all WordPress Menus

Menus are useful – but not always helpful.

Especially on long pages or with a table of contents, you might think: “Just take me straight to the content.”

That’s exactly what the lightweight “Skip Links for Menus” plugin does – automatically, no setup needed.

🔍 What it does:
Detects all menus on your WordPress site

Adds skip links like “Skip to content” automatically

These links are keyboard-accessible via the Tab key and appear subtly when focused

Works with the Easy Table of Contents plugin if installed

Supports multiple languages (including English, German, French, Spanish)

No configuration needed – install, activate, done

🎯 Why it’s useful:
Anyone navigating with a keyboard (by choice or necessity) would otherwise have to tab through every single menu item.

A skip link takes you straight to the main content – no detours.

👉 Try it:

Instant effect, no downside – and a smoother experience for everyone.
If you use WordPress, it’s definitely worth a try.
