SVG graphics with no description

svg-img-alt

Some vector graphics used as images have no text description.

Who this affects

Screen reader users, especially where the SVG is a logo or an icon carrying meaning.

Fix it in WordPress

Inline SVG logos from a page builder are the usual cause. Add the label in the widget's accessibility settings, or switch to an img tag pointing at the SVG file.

What the fix is, technically

Add a title element inside the SVG, or aria-label on it, and role="img".
