Replaced 'Read more' link text with 'Read this' and added aria-label in links to fix pagespeed/lighthouse issues

Hello.

What would be the reason to replace?

MY language is Spanish, that is why I cannot debate.

That's why I need you to explain to me.

Thank you.

Hi @godofredoninja

While testing the website with PageSpeed Insights or using Lighthouse tools, these tools flag 'Read More' button texts on the website with "Links do not have descriptive text" errors. As per these tools, this negatively impacts the SEO with Google. While it may not be the most crucial aspect, addressing this issue can improve the SEO audit score and aid in search optimization with Google.

The text doesn't necessarily need to be 'Read this', it can be 'Read article' or 'Read this article' or anything else that can serve the purpose.

Thanks.

But it is not necessary to change everything

you only have to change one word

"Read more": "Read this",
