 * I’ve been checking accessibility on our WordPress sites and plugins and found
   the following issues with DISQUS:
 * STANDARDS ISSUES REPORTED BY SortSite tool:
 * 1) A link element with an “as” attribute can only be used with rel=preload
    <
   link rel=”prefetch” as=”script” href=”[https://c.disquscdn.com/next/embed/common.bundle.f485ba8b89bf2153fdb9f493ec342aed.js”&gt](https://c.disquscdn.com/next/embed/common.bundle.f485ba8b89bf2153fdb9f493ec342aed.js”&gt);
 * 2) Frameborder, scrolling, allowtransparency attributes are obsolete on iframes
 * ACCESSIBILITY ISSUES REPORTED BY Axe (Chrome extension):
 * 3) Contrast ratio too low on Tweet button, “LOG IN WITH” text, “OR SIGN UP WITH”
   text, comment age text, “ALSO ON” text.
 * STANDARDS ISSUES REPORTED BY Axe:
 * 4) Frames must have a unique title attribute
    ALSO ON… and comment sections are
   separate iframes with same title=”Disqus”
 * 5) Ensure scrollable region (ALSO ON… section) has keyboard access (focuseable
   content)
 * 6) Invalid role type role=”postbox-alert”
 * 7) role=”menuitem” not inside role=”menu”
 * 8) Li elements must be contained in ul
 * 9) Meta name=”viewport” user-scalable=”no” not permitted`
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Faccessibility-standards-issues%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
