How to fix Accessibility Issues: Image without a text alternative 

Text alternatives are used to describe images to people who are unable to see them. This includes people who use screen readers to access the web. 

The text alternative should describe the image within the context of the page — letting visitors know what the image means and why it was included. It is important to not be too wordy and concise when adding the alternative text.
