    Hi,

    I’m currently testing the plugin and I don’t have any major problems.

    However, I noticed some issues that affect site performance:

    1. The picture inside notification doesn’t have alt attribute. It is affecting SEO and accessibility score.

    2. After enabling the link option in the settings, there is no aria-label attribute in the image. It is also affecting accessibility score.

    3. Close button is using icons-close.woff2 which affects the First Contentful Paint (FCP) and Largest Contentful Paint (FCP) parameters. Google recommends using the CSS font-display function to ensure text is visible to the user when loading web fonts.

    Additionally, if the close button is disabled in the plugin options, icons-close.woff2 and icons-close.min.css are loaded anyway.

    I hope you can improve above performance issues.

    Best regards

    Hi,

    Thanks for answer and news regarding icons-close issue.

    Regarding issues 1 or 2 please find below my additional comments:

    1. Image elements do not have [alt] attributes

    Picture: https://prnt.sc/JEz7QqY6XkCW

    The missing alt attribute for the notification product image significantly reduces the SEO and Accessibilty score in Google PageSpeed. Even one missing alt on the page has a significant impact on the results. Ultimately, it can be an alt with a predefined value and not a dynamic one loaded directly for a specific image, it is important that it is available at all. If you do not plan to add such a function, could you please let me know where I can permanently enter such alt in the code.

    2. Link to not have a discernible name

    Picture: https://prnt.sc/sRPtBFMmZijH

    Product Image link need to have a aria-label attribute in order to improve experience for screen reader users. Missing label lowers Accessibilty score in Google Pagespeed. Similarly to the alt attribute, if you do not plan to add such function, please let me know where I can permanently enter aria-label in the code.

    Above screenshots are from PageSpeed results for the demo store (https://authentic.new2new.com/) where the notification plugin works. PageSpeed results page: https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-authentic-new2new-com/g192jypg8x?hl=en&form_factor=mobile

    I hope I have provided some clarification on the discussed topics.

    Thank you for support.

    With best regards
