    For Portfolio link, aria-label should be used in conjunction with the title attribute. Aria for screen readers or accessibility reason, and title attribute for other people who want more information about the action of the button.

    <a href=”….” title=”Portfolio Title” aria-label=”Portfolio Title” ………..

    Google Pagespeed / Lighthouse is throwing a warning due to this

    Link text (and alternate text for images, when used as links) that is discernible, unique, and focusable improves the navigation experience for screen reader users.?Learn how to make links accessible.

    This need to be fixed.

    Under templates > layouts

    if ( $item_link ) {
	$visit_url = $link ? sprintf( '<a href="%s" aria-label="'.$title.'"><i class="demo-icon icon-link-ext"></i></a>', esc_url( $item_link ), $link_target ) : null;
}

    Please include this updated line in all your templates files please for next update. This has fixed all Google Lighthouse Accessibility issues.

    One more issue was encountered in the AXE audit for the Own Carousel for Prev and Next buttons. The error is that, buttons must have discernible text.

    Element Location:
.owl-prev
<button type="button" role="presentation" class="owl-prev"><i class="demo-icon icon-left-open"></i></button>

    Please add,

    <button type="button" role="presentation" class="owl-prev" aria-label="Previous"><i class="demo-icon icon-left-open"></i></button>


<button type="button" role="presentation" class="owl-next" aria-label="Next"><i class="demo-icon icon-right-open"></i></button>

    This will Fix the issues. I am unable to fix this issue myself due to Own Carousel JS. Need your team to update this in your Plugin code and update it in your next version release, please.
