Hestia Accessibility Improvements

Hi. When running accessibility tests on my Hestia site, I get a few failures that seem to be related to the theme. Would appreciate any advice on how to fix these (or advice if they are being addressed in a future Hestia release).

1. Inaccessible buttons

<button class=”hestia-scroll-to-top”> occurs in the header script for all pages and does not have a name. Is this the double upwards caret that appears when I scroll down the page? Is it possible to add a name to it?

2. Link contrast

Apparently the default link colors do not have a sufficient contrast ratio against the (white) background. Can these be changed? Or will they be modified in a future release to have a higher contrast? Visually they look okay to me but apparently contrast is too low according to the accessibility audit.

Thanks!
