Semrush Warning alt attributes opencart defualt loading image.

Hi Guys!
Why is this issue not resovled in latest version? Is there any way to fix this module?
155 images don't have alt attributes
/catalog/view/theme/default/image/loading.gif

This is default opencart.. using opencart 3.0.4.0 Journal 3 theme.
adding alt attributes to 155 pages is not fun..

No it isn't. Look at a clean download and you won't find that file.

It must of been added by your theme or an extension.

Whilst I can understand your logic, it is not default Opencart.

The files provided in catalog/view/theme/default/image/ opencart 3.0.4.0 are

eway_creditcard_diners.png
eway_creditcard_jcb.png
eway_creditcard_master.png
eway_creditcard_visa.png

Not sure where they are an issue but I could make a guess that it is some form of lazy loading images or compensation for your theme's loading issues.
Contact the support for your extension or theme for assistance.
For commercial support you can post here viewforum.php?f=88

This is correct default Opencart doesn't has the loading.gif image but a simple search inside Journal theme can reveal these all.

First of all, you should use a proper standard-compliant OpenCart theme, not the Journal3 framework, see this forum thread as to why. If you really want use the Journal3 framework instead of OpenCart you have to contact the Journal support.

Secondly, why are you even using Semrush? This is one of the worst web crawlers for spammers, it does even appear to respect the robots.txt or crawl-delay directives.

Thirdly, in a standard OpenCart theme, image tags are generated with alt and title tags.

@khnaz - lots of gif files may be installed with a theme this one or any other, but without the actual folders each one of those gifs is in, it is not enough information to confirm whether it is the theme or it comes from an extension, but it is not Opencart. (although it did exist in some of the later OC1 installations)
