    August 14, 2022 — Может быть, вы получали письмо от клиента о том, что форма обратной связи на вашем сайте не работает, внезапно узнавали, что слайдер не прокручивается, или call-to-action кнопка перестала быть кликабельной и оказывалось, что проблема появилась достаточно давно, но никто не заметил?
