blink

The <blink> element should be avoided because it has been deprecated.

Severity: Serious

Description

Ensure that no <blink> elements are present on the page, as flashing text can impede readability and blinking objects can pose challenges for user interaction.

Why is it important?

Using the <blink> element can be confusing and distracting for some users, especially those with visual impairments or sensory sensitivities, making it difficult for them to focus on content. Additionally, because it is deprecated, it may not be supported in future web technologies, potentially causing compatibility issues for websites that use it.

How to fix?

Make sure that all instances of the <blink> element are removed from a webpage.
