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 41 unique image(s).
VerdictImagesShareWhat it means
Missing alt25%No alt attribute — a screen reader may announce the filename.
Redundant / meaningless12%Phrases like "image of…" or bare values like "photo" add nothing.
Too long37%So long it probably belongs in a caption or a separate description.
Looks good1332%Present, plausible, no red flags (still worth a human spot-check).
Decorative2254%alt="" or aria-hidden — intentionally not announced. Not a problem.
