Description

An image on the page is missing an alt attribute. Alternative text is important for screen readers to be able to discern the purpose of the image and to describe the image content to visually impaired users. Every meaningful image should include appropriate alt text that conveys its purpose or content

How to fix

Add a descriptive alt attribute to the image: <img src="example.jpg" alt="Description of image content" /> to ensure accessibility for screen reader users.
