Hello, I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’re facing with the alt and anchor names appearing double on Ahrefs. This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as how the images and links are being processed by Ahrefs.
To address this issue, you can automatically add alt attributes to your images using Rank Math. This will ensure that the alt attributes are correctly set and can help improve your website’s accessibility and search engine optimization.
You can follow the steps outlined in this guide to automatically add alt attributes to your images using Rank Math: How to Automatically Set Alt and Title Attributes for Images
If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to ask.

Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
Hello,
Thank you for contacting support.
This is not an error. This is just a report from Ahrefs letting you know that the ALT attribute and the text of the link in question are the same on some occasions.
You’ll notice that this doesn’t trigger any error in any SEO audit tool, it’s just a report for your URLs.
Also, this is not about the images, it’s about the URLs and we don’t control the ALT tags on those, only on images inside the content.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.

Thank you.
Also Validator.w3.org say that your tool adds alt where it should not be.
Ahrefs shows that the images on the category pages and the blog page (Games) do not have alts. In fact they have the name of the URL that generates the Optimole plugin.

These are pages that are indexed, apart from those with /page/
Hello,
Since those images URL are not directly from your website but rather are using Optimole, it’s not possible for our plugin to add the missing ALT tags.
That needs to be controlled by Optimole if they have options for that, because the images are not coming directly from the media library.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
Unfortunately it is rank math itself that adds the alts. By disabling your plugin, the alts are absent. I already talked about it months ago with Optimole.
Hello,
Rank Math only adds the ALT tags for images that were added to your post content, can you confirm that this is the case?
We’re unable to login to your website because we’re getting this error:
We are looking forward to hearing back from you.

The file name and title have the same text.
Hello,
For the alt text you set to be added by Rank Math, you configured it to be the same as the filename using the %filename% variable. See image in sensitive data section.
We have now disabled the option at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > Images > Add missing ALT attributes.
We hope this helps.
Thank you.

Hello,
I tried disabling the Rank Math plugin and it seems the alt text is still present. Can you please share the specific images and the affected URL here?
Looking forward to helping you.
