      I am trying to understand why the on page reporter shows so many occurrences of alt tags containing my keywords. Can anyone shed any light?

      This is the URL that's in question.

        It is because you have many ALT-tags in your source code. I can count 92; however, not all of them have any description.

        • In our reports we get alt tag errors for our banner images. We are unable to add alt tags to the banner images as they live inside CSS. We can add a title tag on the div title for the banner. Does that help with SEO and accessibility?
