# No HTML link for pages
> Prevent usage of `<a>` elements to navigate to internal Next.js pages.
### Why This Error Occurred
An `<a>` element was used to navigate to a page route without using the `next/link` component, causing unnecessary full page refreshes.
The `Link` component is required in order to enable client-side route transitions between pages and provide a single-page app experience.
### Possible Ways to Fix It
Make sure to import the `Link` component and wrap anchor elements that route to different page routes.
**Before:**
```jsx
function Home() {
return (
<div>
<a href="/about">About Us</a>
</div>
)
}
```
**After:**
```jsx
import Link from 'next/link'
function Home() {
return (
<div>
<Link href="/about">About Us</Link>
</div>
)
}
export default Home
```
### Options
#### `pagesDir`
This rule can normally locate your `pages` directory automatically.
If you're working in a monorepo, we recommend configuring the [`rootDir`](/docs/basic-features/eslint.md#rootDir) setting in `eslint-plugin-next`, which `pagesDir` will use to locate your `pages` directory.
In some cases, you may also need to configure this rule directly by providing a `pages` directory. This can be a path or an array of paths.
```json
{
"rules": {
"@next/next/no-html-link-for-pages": ["error", "packages/my-app/pages/"]
}
}
```
