Elements with role="img" missing a text alternative on Shopify

What this is

3 elements with `role="img"` have no accessible name, so the image is announced without a description.

Who it affects

  • Screen reader users

Standards

How to fix it

  1. Add `aria-label` (or `aria-labelledby`) describing the image, or remove `role="img"` if it is decorative.

Example

Before

<div role="img" class="logo"></div>

After

<div role="img" class="logo" aria-label="TODO: describe the image"></div>

Replace the TODO with a real description.

On Shopify

Products: Admin → Products → open the product → click the image → "Add alt text". Theme images: Online Store → Customize → select the image section → fill the alt text field. Liquid: `{{ image | image_url | image_tag: alt: image.alt }}`.
