 * Hello there,
 * I am getting the following error on Google’s lighthouse regarding accesibility:
 * —-
    Form elements do not have associated labels Labels ensure that form controls
   are announced properly by assistive technologies, like screen readers. Learn 
   more. (source: [https://web.dev/label/](https://web.dev/label/) ) Failing Elements:——-
   textarea <textarea id=”wc-textarea-0_0″ placeholder=”Join the discussion…” required

    This
   issue will not exist in upcoming wpDiscuz 7 major version. The beta version of
   wpDiscuz 7 is already available for testing here: [https://beta.wpdiscuz.com/](https://beta.wpdiscuz.com/)

 * [@gvectors-team](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gvectors-team/) I already
   ran a lighthouse test on your beta…
    the problem still persists with name/email/
   website fields..
 * And looking at the rest of that lighthouse test, there is 0% chance I would even
   try it..
 * Lots of speed problems with it too.. You should download the lighthouse extension
   and see what I mean..

 * Please explain what exactly you mean. The lightbox on the beta website comes 
   from a separate plugin. It doesn’t have any relation to wpDiscuz.

 * Sir you have 9/100 score in Lighthouse for performance. It is quite scary.
    Everything
   red like christmas, all tests failing.

 * Dear, you are testing a development website, there are dozes of tools and plugins
   enabled. The 9/100 score doesn’t have any relation to wpDiscuz plugin. Here is
   the score of disabled wpDiscuz plugin. So as you can see the difference is only
   10 points, this is the whole website issue which is overloaded by our dev tools:

 * Also, we don’t have any cache plugin enabled yet, so the comments are not cached
   and the 10 point is just un-cached comment listing issue. So in all, wpDiscuz
   doesn’t affect website speed.
 * You can make it even more fast using these options:

 * Options:
    Comment List Loading Type Comments Pagination Type
