Lighthouse errors
-
When I run Lighthouse on my website Lighthouse reports several “issues” with Simple Author Box. Some have been mentioned in other threads, but there are still three or four that are yet to be fixed.
1. Links to cross-origin destinations are unsafe

rel="noopener"orrel="noreferrer"to any external links to improve performance and prevent security vulnerabilities.2. Links do not have a discernible name

I guess that means the SVG should have a title tag.
3. Image elements do not have explicit width and height
<img alt="Facebook" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" aria-hidden="true" data-src="https://www.cnx-software.com/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-social-login/ass…" class="lazyload">The width and height tags should be added to social media icons, and the author photo.
4. Displays images with incorrect aspect ratio
It looks like the width and height are not matching the aspect ratio of the photo. Here it’s 50×50 and the photo I used is 250×187.
