Understandable
WCAG 3.2.3
Consistent Navigation
Navigation mechanisms repeated across pages must appear in the same relative order. Don't rearrange menus between pages.
In plain terms
Keep menus in the same order on every page — shuffling them around forces people to relearn the site each time.
Why this matters
When menus reorder themselves from page to page, everyone has to re-learn the layout — but it's especially disorienting for screen-reader users and people with cognitive disabilities who navigate by memory.
How to detect
Quick check
Compare the main navigation across several pages. Do the same links appear in the same order each time? Reordering or dropping items between pages fails.
