Alt text defined in too many places, causing repetitive screen reading

Created on 27 March 2017, almost 8 years ago
Updated 19 September 2023, over 1 year ago

The images are using three forms of text alternatives: image alt-text, the title attribute set on the <picture> element and the title attribute set on the image <img> element. This can potentially cause conflicts and inconsistencies in how assistive technology imparts the text alternative for the image to users.

The title attribute should be removed from the <picture> element and if it is going to be set on the <img> element, ensure it has the same value as the image alt attribute, otherwise remove the title attribute from the <img> element.
