Hi,

it seems that your cron image doenst have alt title. Could you please add it, so we could avoid this warning?

<noscript class="4SEO_cron"> 
   <img aria-hidden="true" alt="" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;left:0;z-index:-99999;" src="https://website.com/?_wblapi=/forseo/v1/cron/image/"> 
  </noscript>

Hi

Indeed we did not have an alt attribute at the start but that fixed in a recent version and, as you can see in the code you pasted above, we know have one,  alt="".

You did not say what warning you were getting but if, as I suspect, you testing tool is giving you a warning because the alt attribute is empty, this is an error from your reporting tool. Not only the alt attribute can be empty, but in that case, it must be empty as the image does not convey any meaning, it even is aria-hidden and we do not want screen readers to announce anything for that image. Here is the reference text from the W3C on the matter.

Can I ask which testing tool you are using?

Best regards
