A "skip to main content" link is an invisible link (often visually hidden but present in the DOM) that appears when Tab is pressed. It allows keyboard users to jump directly to the content without going through all navigation elements. It usually points to an id="main" or id="content".

It's WCAG criterion 2.4.1 "Bypass Blocks" — mandatory at Level A (the most basic). Without it, a keyboard or screen reader user must tab through all navigation links on every page. For a navigation with 20 links, that means 20 Tab presses before reaching the content.
