This code insight shows that HTML comments will be visible for clients since clients generally don’t have a good understanding of the page’s source code. Since useful information for the client should be displayed in the page with the browser, it is unnecessary to place them as commentaries in the source page.About CAST and Highlight’s Code Insights
