Pagespeed mobile – elements contain focusable descendents

Hey Jaro,

Thank you for the inquirry.

When an element has the attribute aria-hidden=”true”, it indicates to assistive technologies (such as screen readers) that the element and its contents should be ignored. This is often used to hide content that is not relevant to the current context or that is intended to be visually hidden, but not removed from the DOM. However, the theme doesn’t add the aria-hidden attribute to the horizontal-gallery-links by default. The code is located in the enfold\config-templatebuilder\avia-shortcodes\gallery_horizontal\gallery_horizontal.php file around line 772:

$output .= "<a {$lightbox_attr} class='av-horizontal-gallery-link' {$display_char} title='{$lightbox_title}' alt='{$alt}'>";

As you can see, the aria-hidden attribute is not included in the markup. It is possible that a plugin is dynamically adding the attribute to the links.

Best regards,
Ismael

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

Have you tried disabling the plugins temporarily? It is possible that one of the plugin is adding the attribute to the gallery links. We’ve searched the theme directory but we didn’t find any scripts that add this attribute dynamically.
