Description

We have some more pages that have large numbers of "What you need to know" items. This taxes the performance of the site and also is pretty bad for usability. We want to look at the examples where this is happening and decide what content or UX changes to make to give them a better solution.

Here are URLs:

Research direction

Review the listed Mass.gov pages, starting with the "What you need to know" sections and their reported item counts. Compare the examples to identify the content or UX problems and document a decided approach for each affected pattern. Done means the affected pages and an agreed solution are clearly defined; the issue does not name files or tests to run.
