    Hi Tonia!

    If you view the source of your page, and then search for alt="" you should find it (buried!) in the HTML code. (Command-F or Ctrl-F is super-helpful here.)

    view-source:https://www.thegunnysack.com/pizza-soup-with-homemade-croutons/

    It looks like in this case, both empty alt tags are related to your Create recipe card — looks like they’re for hidden Pinterest images. If that’s the case, having an empty alt tag is correct, since you would want a screen reader to ignore it anyway.

    So if all 675 empty tags are coming from this, I think you’re just fine.

    Hope that helps!

    Hi Tonia!

    I replied back but my answer has gone into moderation.. so I’ll just add the short answer here: I think you’re fine. The two empty alt tags I found on that page are hidden images related to your Create card. Screen readers will ignore images with empty alt tags, which in this case I think is what you want. 🙂
