WCAGWatch
Automated monitoring for common WCAG-related accessibility issues, reports, scan history, and website maintenance workflows.
Image Alt Text Checker
WCAGWatch helps website owners, ecommerce stores, agencies, and content teams scan public pages for common image alt text issues and monitor changes over time.
Public Image Scan Path
Start with a public page scan, review image findings, then save the website when recurring scans, issue history, and reports are needed.
Scan A Public Page
Use a public URL to check image alt text patterns before saved monitoring.
Review Image Context
Review affected images, page context, linked images, and product media.
Save The Website
Save the site when you need recurring scans, issue history, alerts, and reports.
Run An Alt Text Scan
Scan a public page for common image alt text findings, then save the website for recurring checks, issue history, and reports.
Enter a public domain or full URL. WCAGWatch adds https:// when needed and opens the scan preview.
Public Scan Entry
The form routes public URLs to the scan preview before saved-site monitoring.
Shared Checker Page Entry
Focused checker pages use this entry point so visitors get the same public preview and monitoring path.
Same Preview Path
Homepage, scan page, pricing, and checker pages all route into the same preview-first path before monitoring or checkout.
Flags images missing alternative text or needing informative/decorative review.
Helps teams decide whether images should describe products, services, locations, charts, icons, or page content.
Track alt text findings over time after product uploads, blog posts, landing pages, theme changes, and content updates.
What This Checker Looks For
WCAGWatch checks public pages for missing, suspicious, repeated, and context-sensitive image patterns that need review.
Finds images missing an alt attribute and marks them for review.
Identifies images using empty alt text so teams can confirm they are actually decorative.
Highlights patterns that may require review, such as repeated filenames, generic wording, or unhelpful descriptions.
Checks linked images and image buttons where the accessible name should explain the action or destination.
Reviews product, collection, and promotional images that can affect buying decisions.
Supports recurring checks after new WordPress posts, Shopify products, landing pages, or media library changes.
How To Fix
Write concise alt text that communicates the image purpose in the page context.
Purely decorative images should use empty alt text so assistive technology can skip them.
Do not use unhelpful text such as image123.jpg, photo, graphic, or logo unless that is truly the informative label.
When an image is inside a link or button, the accessible name should explain the action rather than the image appearance alone.
Use Cases
Check new product images, collection cards, and promotional graphics for missing or weak alt text.
Review blog images, service page graphics, page-builder sections, and uploaded media across public pages.
Use reports to show clients where image descriptions are missing or need review.
Review homepage, service, gallery, testimonial, location, and contact page images.
Review Context
WCAGWatch checks missing, empty, repeated, weak, and linked-image alt text patterns that automated tools can detect.
Charts, product details, complex graphics, and contextual imagery often need a person to confirm the final description.
Reports help teams track image findings, prioritize updates, and monitor recurring issues over time.
Next Step
Save the website to track missing alt text, decorative image review, product media updates, linked image names, and recurring image issues over time.
