How to Fix The Problem

<applet> elements must contain text alternatives for the applet in the body of the element.

The Algorithm, In Simple Terms

Engine scans the page for <applet> elements missing text in their body.

Why Is It Important?

Users who use assistive tools, such as screen readers rely on text alternatives for visual and audio content.
