 * 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
 * `<a target="_blank" href="https://www.twitter.com/cnxsoft" rel="nofollow" class
   ="saboxplugin-icon-grey">`
 * Add `rel="noopener"` or `rel="noreferrer"` to any external links to improve performance
   and prevent security vulnerabilities.
 * 2. Links do not have a discernible name
 * `<a target="_blank" href="https://www.twitter.com/cnxsoft" rel="nofollow" class

 * Link text (and alternate text for images, when used as links) that is discernible,
   unique, and focusable improves the navigation experience for screen reader users.
   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.
