Steps to Reproduce

3. Observe that the textual description announced by the screen reader does not fully describe the functionality of the image link.

Actual Results

An incomplete textual description, "Go to home page" is provided for the "Confluence" logo image link. This occurs because the aria-label attribute within the <a> element contains incomplete information. As a result, the textual description announced by screen readers does not fully convey the functionality or purpose of the image link.

Expected Results

The logo image link should provide a complete and meaningful textual description that accurately conveys its purpose, ensuring that screen reader users can understand that it navigates to the Confluence home page.

Apply the following changes:

• Update the aria-label attribute of the <a> element that wraps the logo image to include the complete and descriptive text "Confluence home page".
• Ensure that the alt attribute of the nested <img> element is left empty (alt="") to prevent duplicate announcements by screen readers.

If the above approach is not feasible, remove the aria-label attribute from the <a> element and ensure the alt attribute of the <img> element contains the descriptive text "Confluence home page" so that the logo image link is announced correctly by screen readers.

Code Snippet 1:

<a href="..." aria-label="Confluence home page">
  <img src="..." alt="">
</a>

Code Snippet 2:

<a href="...">
  <img src="..." alt="Confluence home page">
</a>
