Missing alt text

How to fix it

Add descriptive alt text. Use alt="" only for purely decorative images.

Sibling checks in this category

• Broken image - The image URL returns an error. Users see a placeholder, search engines drop it from image results.
• Oversized image - The image file is much larger than its rendered size, slowing the page.
• Image URL redirects - The image src redirects, costing an extra round-trip on every load.
• Missing image dimensions - The image has no width / height attributes, which causes layout shift (bad CLS).
