I have, in the past, helped a person with limited eyesight.  He would use a
Linux Text Screen, and lynx as his Browser, and then have a special
Screen-reading Program.

So I brought up https://www.debian.org under lynx, to see how the
Download Link looked.  The same wording ( "Download Debian 10.5(64-bit PC
Network installer)" ) was on its own line, as a usable Link.

I'd say this Website passes Muster better than many others.
