Hello,
Thank you for contacting us.
Usually, this type of decorative element should be generated using a CSS background to avoid treating it as an “image” element.
However, if you wish to include it as an image tag, you can simply add an attribute role="presentation" as this is used to remove semantic meaning from an element and any of its related child elements.
As for the alt tags, since all images required alt tags for it, you can just add an empty alt tag for it alt=””, this may cause Rank Math to generate a prompt or error in the SEO Analysis but you can ignore it. Please refer to this guide: https://www.portent.com/blog/design-dev/decorative-images-how-to-identify-and-tag-them-for-accessibility.htm
Please note that you need to find a balance that works well for both accessibility and SEO. Meaning, you can ignore the test in validator.w3.org as these tests are just guidelines and one does not need to follow them religiously. The Search engines will still be able to recognize the type of image you used for your website.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need my assistance with anything else.
