Alt tags are missing from the source code on all product pages. This includes the product's main image and all thumbnails. Alt tags are required for accessibility and their absence hurts SEO performance.

Title tags are missing from the main product image. However, all thumbs automatically display the identical title tag (the product name.) This impacts accessibility because it it not possible to use title tags to differentiate between multiple images. For example, we use thumbs to show various color options for configurable products. Since some colors are similar, if each thumb displayed a unique title tag it would help customers identify which color to specify when ordering. Also, having multiple identical title tags may adversely impact SEO if it is considered spam by Google.

Recommendation: Add editable fields to specify alt tags and title tags for all product images.
