# Bug report: SEO Optimization

 * After publishing the page containing slider Accessibility has dramatically decreased.
 * Here is the list of discovered problems with PageSpeed Insights from Google:
 * 1. `[aria-*]` attributes do not match their roles (related to active slick dot)
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <li aria-hidden="false" role="presentation" aria-selected="false" aria-controls="navigation01" id="slick-slide01" class="slick-active">
       ```
   
 * 2. Elements with an ARIA `[role]` that require children to contain a specific`[
   role]` are missing some or all of those required children (related to slick dots
   list and active slick dot)
 *     ```wp-block-code
       1 2 3 4
       <ul class="slick-dots" style="" role="tablist">
       ```
   
 *     ```wp-block-code
       2
       <li aria-hidden="false" role="presentation" aria-selected="false" aria-controls="navigation01" id="slick-slide01" class="slick-active">
       ```
   
 * 3. `button`, `link`, and `menuitem` elements do not have accessible names (it’s
   about previous and next slick arrows of slider).
 *     ```wp-block-code
       div.wppsac-wrap > div#wppsac-post-carousel-1 > span.slick-prev
       <span class="slick-prev slick-arrow" data-role="none" role="button" style="">
       ```
   
 *     ```wp-block-code
       div.wppsac-wrap > div#wppsac-post-carousel-1 > span.slick-next
   
       <span class="slick-next slick-arrow" data-role="none" role="button" style="">
       ```
   
 * 4. `[aria-hidden="true"]` elements contain focusable descendents (related to 
   slick dots)
 *     ```wp-block-code
       1
       <li class="" aria-hidden="true" role="presentation" aria-selected="true" aria-controls="navigation00" id="slick-slide00">
       ```
   
 *     ```wp-block-code
       1
       <button type="button" data-role="none" role="button" tabindex="0">
       ```
   
 *     ```wp-block-code
       3
       <li aria-hidden="true" role="presentation" aria-selected="false" aria-controls="navigation02" id="slick-slide02">
       ```
   
 *     ```wp-block-code
       3
       <button type="button" data-role="none" role="button" tabindex="0">
       ```
   
 *     ```wp-block-code
       4
       <li aria-hidden="true" role="presentation" aria-selected="false" aria-controls="navigation03" id="slick-slide03">
       ```
   
 *     ```wp-block-code
       4
       <button type="button" data-role="none" role="button" tabindex="0">
       ```
   
 * 5. ARIA input fields do not have accessible names (related to slick tray)
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <div class="slick-track" style="opacity: 1; width: 7686px; transform: translate3d(-2562px, 0px, 0px);" role="listbox">
       ```

 * Do I understand you right, that you’re using 3rd party library updated last time
   in 2017 (6 years ago so far) and not gonna do anything about that?
 * I believe all the listed above issues are critical bugs since affect SEO metrics
   which leads to lower ranking in search result.
 * I understand that’s easier is to leave it as-is.
 * However, I’m asking you as a author of the plugin to fix it.
