Issue
Expected Result:
I expect the Screen Reader to only announce relevant information to avoid confusion
Actual Result:
The SR is announcing the Heading Level 1 link on the Home page as as:
"[Heading Name] heading level 1 Link visited Go to"
The SR is announcing the additional phrase "Go to" which will be confusing for the user.
Steps to Reproduce:
Tools: JAWS Screen Reader
1. Open the main page of a Liferay environment
2. Navigate to Open Product Menu > Site builder > pages, Then navigate to Home > Edit (in three dot menu to the right of the +), Home page will appear.
3. Using JAWS, navigate to the pages [Heading Name] H1 link and observe the issue.
