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.

Missing alt11%No alt attribute — a screen reader may announce the filename.
Redundant / meaningless22%Phrases like "image of…" or bare values like "photo" add nothing.
Looks good8674%Present, plausible, no red flags (still worth a human spot-check).
Decorative2824%alt="" or aria-hidden — intentionally not announced. Not a problem.
