Button should not use the `alt` attribute

[leecalcote]

Description

Several interactive elements use attributes that do not belong to them:

Button alt attributes: The "Get Started" buttons include an alt attribute:

<button class="..." id="get-started-2" aria-label="Signup for Layer5 Cloud" title="Get Started" alt="Signup for Layer5 Cloud">

Expected Behavior

The alt attribute is exclusively for images (<img>, <area>, <input type="image">). It is completely invalid on a <button>. Since the button already correctly uses aria-label and title, the alt attribute should be removed.

Thanks much, folks! I think, but could very well be wrong that @AbhiSahane0 and @megha1807 have other issues in-hand (that you're working on) now, so I handed this to @Daniel-1600.

With this said, I could be mistaken.

@saurabhraghuvanshii @AbhiSahane0 @megha1807 @Daniel-1600 Also, it's worth noting that it's OK to have multiple issues assigned and to be working through multiple at a time. I was just trying to spread the load around a little bit. There are many other issues to be raised in terms of site performance. In fact, I think @leecalcote is working on overhaul of the build time and build memory for the project now. Still, please go run this test - https://pagespeed.web.dev - and open any issues that you find.

Thanks @hortison! I’ll start working on this and open a PR soon.
