✔️ Expected Behavior

Links present at the bottom of the page should be associated with their visible labels using proper HTML markup, such as the tag with an appropriate 'href' attribute. Screen readers should announce the visible labels when navigating through the links, providing users with accurate information about the destination or action associated with each link.

❌ Actual Behavior

Currently, links present at the bottom of the page are not associated with their visible labels. Screen readers may announce generic or misleading information when navigating through these links, as they are not properly linked to their visible labels.
