Extension: Improved Highlighting Functionality¶

Optimize has simplified and improved the way highlighting works in the Optimize Extension to deliver a more consistent and reliable user experience.

Previously, when users clicked the Highlight button a transparent overlay layer was applied across the entire website, with highlighted borders and an orange background. The border colors varied by module, and the implementation often conflicted with page or CMS styles.

Now, highlights are applied directly to the target element with a uniform red border, regardless of module. This streamlined approach reduces complexity, minimizes errors, and ensures cleaner compatibility with website styles.

Resumed Rollout of Accessibility Checks Update¶

Optimize has resumed the periodic update to Accessibility checks, which enhances the accuracy and quality of Accessibility scan results.

As part of this update:

• This can cause changes to your compliance scores due to improved detection logic.

  Visit the detailed changelog for full transparency.

• The update is currently enabled for 40% of customers globally and will be rolled out to all customers within the next two weeks.

Optimize continuously monitors performance and scan quality as the rollout progresses.
