Audit every <img> on a page against WCAG 1.1.1. Letter grade (A+ to F), per-image flags, and overall pass rate.
What it catches
| Flag | What it means |
|---|---|
missing-alt | The alt attribute is entirely absent — a WCAG hard failure |
empty-alt-suspect | alt="" without role="presentation" or aria-hidden="true" (often unintentional) |
decorative-should-be-empty | Image marked decorative but still has alt text |
alt-too-long | Alt over 150 chars (Lighthouse warning threshold) |
filename-as-alt | alt="IMG_1234.jpg" — useless placeholder |
