Why it matters

AI crawlers can't see your images: they read alt text. Without alt, the visual content of the page is invisible to them, and to screen readers. Use `alt=""` ONLY for purely decorative images that add no information.

The fix

```html
<!-- Meaningful image: describe what it shows + why it matters -->
<img src="dashboard.png" alt="Crawlmind dashboard showing per-rule scores">

<!-- Decorative (background pattern, divider): empty alt -->
<img src="divider.svg" alt="">
```
