Would it be better for Product Card & Carousel Image alt tags to be empty for accessibility?
I am working on an accessibility push for an ecommerce platform, and I am leaning towards empty alt tags for the product images. My primary reason the product name is on the card or the product page and we don't have specific descriptions for the different angles or lifestyle images. Also repeating the alt tag content is too verbose for screen readers and don't really add value.
These are major brand items and we get their data from them or scraping their website. Most are pretty poor at alt tags.
Any thoughts or experiences anyone would like to share?
