What it means

tragent reports this at the “Read the details” stage. The question there is “Can it understand what the product is?” Name, description, images and variants have to be readable as data, not just rendered as a page.

What it does to an agent

Agents can usually carry on, but more slowly or less sure of what they found, and an unsure agent is likelier to recommend another store.

How to fix it

Add alt text describing product images, and alt="" on decorative ones.

Check the fix

Run the check that reported A11Y_IMAGES_NO_ALT again after the change. The scan needs no account; an issue found during an AI shopping test needs that test run again.

Terminal
npx @tragent/cli scan https://your-store.com
