The text alternative of the section images duplicate the section's heading's text content.

Remediation Notes

There usually are two options.

  1. Decide, the image is decorative, without any informative value, and set a null alt attribute

  2. Set appropriate text alternative for the image

Option 1 is often used to save time and cost but must only be used for actual decorative images. If a non-decorative image uses a null alt attribute, it is considered a clear failure of the success criterion. If you find yourself, arguing the images being decorative only, consider re-structuring the page so that the images are not needed at all.

Thus, option 2 usually is the preferred method to handle the issue. Ensure, following a method like the W3C Alt decision tree to evaluate, whether you need a text alternative and to figure out what appropriate (purpose equivalent) text alternative could look like.
