Checks that object elements have alternative content

| | |
|---|---|
| **Rule ID** | `a11y/object-alt` |
| **Category** | [Accessibility](/rules/a11y) |
| **Scope** | Per-page |
| **Severity** | warning |
| **Weight** | 6/10 |

## Solution

Object elements need alternative content for when the embedded content can't be displayed or for assistive technology. Add content between `<object>` tags as fallback, or use aria-label/aria-labelledby.
