Bing gives alt text error

Hi @sahaysagar1,

We checked the homepage and found that all the images have alt text. We have more details about how to check for alt text using Yoast SEO in this guide: Image SEO alt tag and title tag optimization.

Does Bing give you any other details or URLs where this problem is happening?

Hi Priscilla,

Thanks for the response. I got a list of 14 pages where the problem is happening

https://alpharagas.com/17-most-incredible-places-to-visit-in-hawaii/
https://alpharagas.com/6-unique-places-in-the-us-to-blow-your-mind/

Hi @sahaysagar1,

Upon inspecting the page source of those given pages, we do see Alt attribute present on the images. We suspect the report shown by Bing is false positive, therefore, it can be ignored.

Hi Suwash,

Thanks for your quick response.

Is it possible that Bing shows a false report? Also, I get

“The evaluated size of HTML is estimated to be over 125 KB and risks not being fully cached” error for two pages

Hi @sahaysagar1,

Thank you for your reply.

The notifications you get around the page size isn’t really related to Yoast SEO. Those 2 pages do have a lot of images so it’s quite normal that you exceed the 125KB page size.

Thanks Jeroen,

Are you sure I don’t have any alt text issues here in the links below

Google does not have any issues, Yoast Seo also says it is fine. But Bing keeps showing error on these pages “ img tag does not have ALT attribute defined”

Hi @sahaysagar1,

Thank you for your reply.

We’ve checked all 4 pages and the only images not having an ALT text on these pages are the avatar images in the replies on the posts. Having said this, this looks very minor and shouldn’t affect anything badly. We suggest ignoring the Bing notifications you get for this.

Thanks for your quick response Jeroen.
One more question.
I have the home title shown on the home page and I want to get rid of it but I am scared that if I hide the H1 title using CSS it will affect my SEO as SEO does not like if you hide anything. Should I hide and if yes what is the code and if not what is the alternate solution?

Hi @sahaysagar1,

Thank you for your reply.

It looks like this might be coming from your category which is also called Blog. You might be able to remove this by going to SEO → Search Appearance → Breadcrumbs (tab) → Taxonomy to show in breadcrumbs for content types. You can set None for your Posts.

This would remove the category from all posts so keep that in mind. You might just want to rename the ‘Blog’ category.

Hi Jeroen,

I am talking about “Home” written in the middle of the home page just below the photo, not on the title bar

Under Breadcrumbs, it only says enable or disabled and mine is disabled
Under Taxonomies, it says Show Categories in search results? and it is “Yes”
Show SEO settings for Categories-It has two options show/hide-mine says Show
Show Tags in search results? and Mine says Yes
Format-based archives-Enabled
Remove the categories prefix-“Yes”

What should I do?

Hi @sahaysagar1,

So sorry for the confusion I made! Somehow, my previous reply here was one I was writing in another topic but got posted here. I messed up, my apologies.

To get back to your question about the title on your homepage. Yes, removing or hiding this ‘home’ link shouldn’t be causing any issues. If your theme does not have an option to disable it from showing, just hiding it with CSS would be just fine.

.home .entry-header{
display:none;
}

The above CSS should take care of hiding this ‘home’ text only on your homepage. However, please know that we do not give any support on custom code for your site, if you need anything else or support on this, we encourage you to talk to a developer.

We are going ahead and marking this issue as resolved due to inactivity. If you require any further assistance please create a new issue.
