Check the alt text on a page
check_page_alt_textUse this to check one page's images and alt text NOW — including a page no scan has ever covered, and straight after changing images or writing alt text, when the stored scan is already out of date. READ-ONLY: loads one page and inspects it; changes nothing. For what a stored scan already recorded across the site, which is free, use list_alt_findings instead. This one loads a page, so it is metered against the website's daily browser-check allowance and its monthly distinct-page allowance. It checks every image on the page for alt-text problems that can be decided from the markup: a missing alt attribute (which is not the same as an empty one), a filename used as alt, a redundant "image of" opener, alt too long to hear in one breath, alt that merely repeats the visible caption, and an image that is the only content of a link and leaves it with no accessible name. Images correctly marked decorative are counted and deliberately not reported, and neither is the same alt repeated across images: markup cannot tell a product gallery from a row of different products. The decidable version of that — one accessible name, two link destinations — comes from screen_reader_transcript. Whether an existing, plausible-looking alt actually describes its picture is a different question and is not judged here. Findings are capped at 20, worst impact first; imageCount and a stated findingsOmitted count cover the rest on a large gallery or catalogue page. A run that lands on a bot-protection interstitial rather than the page is reported as void, never as clean, and a void run carries no image counts and no findings. Where the interstitial title is contradicted by a page's worth of images, the run stands and carries challengeSuspected instead: trust the images, not the title. Read-only: nothing is written to the site.
