# Optimizations

### Performance

* **Enable instant.page library** to preload the next page as a user hovers over a link. This will feel faster to the user, but it will not impact performance scores done by testing tools such as Google lighthouse, as these tools only measure the performance of the initial page load. There is a chance that instant.page will not work with third party apps or analytics services depending on how they are loaded, so you may wish to disable this option if experiencing any issues with your apps.

### Accessibility

* **Show focus outlines on text inputs:** By default, the browser will show an outline around inputs that are currently focused. This is required for accessibility if the user is using a screenreader or keyboard to navigate. If this option is **disabled**, we use a third-party library to detect if a user is using a mouse or touch screen, and hide the outlines. If you want to minimize the use of uneccessary javascript libaries or you are concerned about accessibility, you can enable this option.
* **Video description button on videos:** By default, we use the video alt text as a video description in order allow merchants to meet the [1.2.1 Audio-only and Video-only (Prerecorded)](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/#audio-only-and-video-only-prerecorded) success criterion of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. You can disable this option if needed, but please note that not including an alternative to video content is an accessibility failure and may put you at a increased risk of litigation.
