Is it ok to hide any thing temporarily or forever using display:none? in dynamic site where many component of page coming from different plugins etc and many time if client doesn’t want any thing on page then i use dispaly:none to hide things from page . I do not remove thing from actual source because client can come back ask to enable that thing again.

so what are pros and cons to keep things hide from display:none if i keep any element hide using Display:none forever?

is there any cons in terms of SEO, Screen reader, Accessibility etc?

    Pros: Very easy to do

    Cons:

    • You are still loading the components on the server side and the client will download them. The browser will simply not “show” them.
    • Anyone using “view source” will be able to see the values that are “hidden”. so never use it to hide sensitive information.

    You can simply “comment” these section server side to save a lot of processing on the server, bandwidth, etc.
