WCAG 1.1.1 Non-text Content
How to fix: Images must have alt text
Every meaningful image needs alternative text so screen-reader users know what it shows. Decorative images should have an empty alt attribute so they are skipped.
The fix
Add a descriptive alt attribute to every <img>. Use alt="" only for purely decorative images.
