Disproportionate burden

On one our features the dictionary we are implementing the search feature which would allow a keyboard user to search terms from the sites and access content. This feature will be released in 4 weeks’ time as it is pending extensive security testing which depends on resources and time due to this, we are adding this into this section. Further details on this can be found here Disproportionate burden. We also have few issues on our site that rely on WordPress which we are looking at.
