You must solve at least one of the errors that your store got

I’ve been trying to resolve one of the errors but the score still the same. I’m not sure if I fix the right one. For example, what does it mean by links do not have a discernible name? I have put link on those slide but the error still didn’t budge.

Your link does not include any text inside or must have arial-label. You can check this to learn more

Does this need to be adjusted on the coding part? I mean like html as it show on the example (in the link you gave).

Yes, you will need to edit code of your theme.
