Best practice suggestion for links on website

[georgiamshaw]

Your best practice score is pretty high (86) but could be a bit higher and become green! One thing the accessibility tests suggest is removing target_blank or using it with rel="noopener" or rel="noreferrer. This makes it safer and prevent users from directing your users to malicious websites.

This website suggested in the Accessibility Dev Tools is useful: https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/audits/noopener

And a friend of mine sent me this after reviewing the code on my website and realising I'd been using target_blank, too. Check it out!
