Research direction

Start by opening the landing page in Chrome with VoiceOver and testing the “Skip to main content” link with keyboard focus. Trace the landing-page entry point to find the link and its target, then verify that selecting it moves focus or view to the main content and that the behavior works with the reported setup.
