Alt-text quality

Beyond present-vs-missing, each unique image's alt text is classified for quality. Filenames, redundant phrasing ("image of…"), and too-short or too-long values are technically present but unhelpful — the cases a human should rewrite. Decorative and "looks good" are not problems.

Alt-text quality across 54 unique image(s).
Verdict	Images	Share	What it means
Redundant / meaningless	2	4%	Phrases like "image of…" or bare values like "photo" add nothing.
Too short	2	4%	A single character or word unlikely to convey the image's meaning.
Too long	2	4%	So long it probably belongs in a caption or a separate description.
Looks good	48	89%	Present, plausible, no red flags (still worth a human spot-check).
