PAL Image Alt Audit

Fix the image alt-text review backlog before a website launch

Designed for: Accessibility coordinators, website QA teams and content editors preparing a site redesign.

What you receive: A per-URL list of images to review, distinguishing missing alt attributes from explicitly empty values. Recheck the same URLs after editors make changes.

Test one real page in under a minute

Paste this into the Input tab and press Start:

{"urls":["https://scrapeme.live/shop/Pikachu/"]}

Start with one public page, inspect its Dataset row, then expand to a short list of up to 18 URLs. Export issue codes and underlying evidence into your issue tracker.

Billing: Pay per event for processed pages; confirm the exact amount in this Actor’s Pricing tab before a run. Export Dataset results as JSON or CSV and rerun after editing your site.

Limitations: Decorative images should often use an empty alt attribute; this is not a full WCAG or screen-reader test. Only public static HTML; no account login, JavaScript rendering or edits to third-party websites.

PAL Image Alt Audit

Check image alt attributes, empty alternatives and missing accessible labels.

Ideal users and practical workflow

Best for: website QA and accessibility-oriented content teams.

What it checks: Check image alt attributes, empty alternatives and missing accessible labels. Upload a short list of public HTTPS URLs to receive an individual evidence-based record and issue flags per page. Review the flagged URLs first, then export the Dataset as JSON or CSV for your team's workflow.

When it is useful: During page-template reviews or before shipping a new site theme. This is a static signal check, not an accessibility certification.

What it does not do: It does not crawl an entire website automatically, render JavaScript, guarantee a search ranking, or change the target site. Check the exact limitations below before purchasing runs.

Why use this PAL Actor?

Get a structured, repeatable report for this specific issue without opening dozens of webpages by hand. Each input URL is analyzed independently. The output identifies data found on the page and flags likely omissions for manual review. Save output in Apify Dataset and export to JSON, CSV or Excel.

Practical use cases

Built for: accessibility coordinators, web QA professionals and front-end teams.

• Spot the issue: Check image alt attributes, empty alternatives and missing accessible labels. See machine-readable results for each submitted public URL.
• Prioritize corrections: use issues, issueCount and details to decide which pages merit human review.
• Repeat as needed: rerun the same URL list after editing page markup to compare findings.

What makes this tool useful?

Focused on Image Alt Audit, rather than requiring a full-site crawling subscription. Export results to a spreadsheet, CSV or a data pipeline; connect via Apify API where appropriate. The tool processes static HTML and embedded metadata, with no client-side browser, API keys or private-page logins.

Important: each URL is a separate charged successful audit event at the rate visible in Apify Store. A missing signal is an observation, not a legal or search-engine verdict. If your site renders important data only with JavaScript, that data may not appear in the result.

How this fits with other Practical AI Lab (PAL) tools

For ecommerce projects, start with PAL Product Price & Stock Snapshot and follow with PAL Product GTIN & SKU SEO Auditor to inspect identifiers. For storefront trust information, use PAL Store Policy Link Mapper before reviewing return or shipping schema. These are independent PAL tools; there is no bundle requirement.

Example input

{"urls": ["https://scrapeme.live/shop/Pikachu/"]}

Results

Each successful fetch produces a Dataset row with sourceUrl, finalUrl, mode, issueCount, issues and details. Issue flags indicate markup detected in static HTML; they are not a guarantee of legal compliance, accessibility certification, search rank, or a live inventory position. Missing data can be published through JavaScript or other channels not read here.

Billing

Pay per event: pal-imagealt is triggered for each successfully fetched and audited page at the price displayed by Apify Store. URL errors generate a free error row. Maximum 18 URLs per run. No paid API keys, logins, or third-party services required.

Technical limits

Public HTTPS only; no JavaScript rendering, captcha bypass or private pages. Each response is at most 1.5 MB, 11-second network timeout. The site may block bots. Output reflects visible HTML at retrieval time, not a complete website audit. Running the Actor does not itself fix issues.

More Practical AI Lab (PAL) tools

Use independent PAL tools in a natural sequence: first capture price and stock, then audit the corresponding product markup; or locate policy links and inspect returns/shipping markup. Each Actor is separately usable, with no mandatory bundle.
