Describe the bug

On the article at https://recode-website-abw4z2fba-recode-9c2fd7df.vercel.app/blog/google-icon-update, every tag uses alt="Github" as the alt text. This is incorrect for two reasons:

  1. It violates AdSense's accessibility and metadata quality guidelines.
  2. It matches scraper site behavior and damages SEO credibility.

Additionally, there may be dead image links present.

Every image should have a descriptive alt attribute, such as "Google Workspace new icon design 2026" (not "Github").

Please audit and update all tags in this article to have accurate, content-specific alt text.

Expected behavior

Each tag must have a descriptive and accurate alt attribute that reflects the actual image content.
There should be no generic or irrelevant alt texts (such as "Github").
All image links should be working; there must be no dead or broken images.
