You\u2019ll need to add alt text to any images that add meaning or value to your website. So, if an image is purely for decorative purposes, like a pattern, it\u2019s better not to add alt text.

If you\u2019re not sure where to start, it can be difficult to put your accessibility plans into action. Accessibility scans can pinpoint accessibility violations across your website. For example, our <a href=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/au\/free-accessibility-check\/\">free accessibility scan<\/a> can highlight WCAG compliance issues not just on web pages, but also images, links, and PDFs.<\/p><p>You can then use the interactive dashboard to track your progress as you make changes. Meanwhile, the AI features can help you fix issues in record time (with plenty of opportunities for manual review).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f2dd440\" data-id=\"f2dd440\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3d8656b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3d8656b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/01\/Auditing-icon-1-300x300.png\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-32002\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/01\/Auditing-icon-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/reciteme.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/01\/Auditing-icon-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/reciteme.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/01\/Auditing-icon-1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/reciteme.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/01\/Auditing-icon-1.png 801w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"><\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a2d1c95 disable-default elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a2d1c95\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fae436d\" data-id=\"fae436d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-427e103 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"427e103\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/08\/Website-checklist-Header-300x300.png\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-29711\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reciteme.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/08\/Website-checklist-Header-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/reciteme.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/08\/Website-checklist-Header-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/reciteme.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/08\/Website-checklist-Header-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/reciteme.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/08\/Website-checklist-Header-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/reciteme.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/08\/Website-checklist-Header.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"><\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9bb8de4\" data-id=\"9bb8de4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-381db3c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"381db3c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Use an accessibility checklist for manual testing<\/h3><p>Whilst digital tools can make a difference, it\u2019s always wise to finalise with a manual check.
