Blur No-Alt
Blur images in the WordPress editor interface if they don't have alt text. Socially engineer your WordPress content developers to write alt text for images.

Description
This plugin blurs images in the WordPress Block Editor interface if there is no alt text on the image, or if the alt text contains .jpg, .png, or .gif. Site visitors still see the image just fine, but editors will see a blurred image in the dashboard. Hovering or selecting the image removes the blur effect.
Most styles work in all "modern browsers" (not Internet Explorer). Media & Text blocks with the "crop" setting only work in very recent browsers that support the :has() psuedo selector.
Note: Unblurring Decorative Images
Note: This will blur all images in the editing UI that don't have alt text — even decorative images that should not have alt text, or images that are described elsew
