Observation Details

Images that are not purely decorative, must have a purpose equivalent text alternative set, to be accessible if the image cannot be visually perceived. A prime example is a blind screen reader user. But also if an image cannot be loaded due to network issues, the text alternative ensures perception of the conveyed information.

Images with non-equivalent text alternative in section "Dein Android-Handy rundum geschützt".

  • "Chrome" uses Google Play icon

  • "Google One" uses Google Wallet icon

Arguably, the icons also are decorative. So a null alt attribute is more suited as the current wrong ones.

Remediation Notes

Ensure purpose equivalent text alternatives are present for every non-decorative image. Depending on the purpose, the text alternative may be describing the contents of an image or the functionality it serves (e.g. as a link to a specific page).
