What this check looks for
The alt attribute describes what an image shows. Screen readers read it out loud for users who can't see. Google reads it to understand the image and rank it in image search. Skip it and you lose both. The bar is low: write what's in the image in plain language. Skip decorative icons (alt="" is fine for those), describe meaningful images, and don't keyword-stuff.
