Image text alternative (image)

<img> requires a descriptive alt attribute. Decorative images use alt="" and aria-hidden="true" or role="presentation":


Redundant alt text in group:

This display uses five shopping cart icons to represent a rating. Instead of providing a single descriptive text alternative for the entire group (e.g., "5 out of 5 carts"), each image has its own alt text. This leads to redundant announcements for screen reader users and makes the information harder to understand.


Icons:

shopping-cart icon shopping-cart icon shopping-cart icon shopping-cart icon shopping-cart icon

Note: Impossible to fully auto-test. Requires a human tester or AI to verify whether grouped images provide a redundant set of alt texts instead of a single meaningful alternative.
