Check one Shopify page for missing alt text.

Enter a public storefront page URL to see how many images are missing the behind-the-scenes alt-text field. Your results appear on this page.

If provided, your email is stored with the scan result. Results appear here; this check does not send an email report.

Catalog gaps are easier to fix when you can see them

Shopify catalogs change constantly. New product images and rushed launches can leave missing alt attributes across the storefront. This checker looks only at the one public page you submit.

Lumi gives you a clearer starting point before your team spends hours editing product fields manually:

Single-page checkStorefront page
Image alt gapsMissing attributes
Next stepReview fixes

The installed app identifies catalog-wide missing product-image alt text, creates reviewable drafts, and records completed alt-text fixes.

What to do with the result

Review meaningful images with missing alt attributes. An empty attribute can be appropriate for decoration; this checker does not assess description quality or images inserted after page load.

Compare practical alt text examples, use the alt text generator for reviewable drafts, or plan a broader storefront accessibility review.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this single-page check inspect?
It checks the page returned for one submitted storefront URL, counts image elements, and flags those without an alt attribute. It does not inspect the full catalog, judge alt-text quality, or provide an accessibility determination.
Do accessibility widgets update Shopify product data?
Provider behavior varies. Check whether changes are saved in Shopify or applied only while the storefront script runs. Lumi saves approved updates to supported Shopify catalog fields. Read our widget analysis.
What happens if my Shopify store has missing alt text?
The results show whether image elements need attention. You can update them manually in Shopify or use Lumi to analyze images and suggest descriptive alt text for review before publishing. Create reviewable product-image alt text or calculate your ROI from automation.
How should I think about EAA or WCAG requirements?
Accessibility obligations depend on your market, storefront, and legal context. Lumi helps with one operational piece: improving and documenting product image alt text and related product information. It is not legal advice.
Is Lumi a complete accessibility solution?
No. Lumi supports accessibility workflows by helping identify missing alt text, organize automated storefront findings, generate reviewable drafts, and record completed alt-text fixes. Manual review is still required for the broader storefront experience.
What makes product-image alt text useful?
Useful alt text briefly describes information a shopper would miss if they could not see the image. For product images, that usually means the product, angle, detail, or context shown. This approach follows Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
Can I fix accessibility issues myself?
Yes, you can manually add alt text to images in your Shopify store. However, for stores with hundreds or thousands of images, this can be extremely time-consuming. Automated solutions like Lumi AI can analyze your images using image analysis and suggest clear, search-friendly alt text to reduce repetitive manual cleanup while supporting your accessibility process.
Does this check my entire Shopify store?
No. It checks one submitted storefront page for missing alt attributes. The free Shopify catalog audit checks a sample of linked storefront pages, while the installed app works with connected product data. A broader accessibility review should also inspect templates, navigation, forms, media, checkout, and assistive technology behavior.
Why does this audit show different results than Google PageSpeed Insights?
This tool scans the raw HTML source code returned for the submitted page and counts all images that are missing alt attributes. Google PageSpeed Insights uses a headless browser to render your page with JavaScript, which means it only counts images that are actually visible and rendered. This source-code check can include image elements that are hidden or handled differently after JavaScript runs. Treat both as inputs to a broader review rather than a complete accessibility audit.
