Missing dimensions in social media images

Since adding the HivePress Social Links plugin, I am getting warnings on my Sitechecker.pro service that my listings pages are missing some image dimensions, affecting my page speed/user experience.

It seems that the offending images are the SVG social media icons used by the Social Links plugin. Is there something I can do to force the image dimensions to be included in the generated code or is a plug-in update/fix required for this?

Since the issue affects ALL page listings it is affecting the performance rating of my site, and hence, I’m afraid, my SEO.

Hi,

Thanks for reporting this, the bug is confirmed and we’ll fix it as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, there is no simple snippet for this fix, it can only be done by editing the code directly.

Thanks andrii. Do you have an ETA please?
