Solution

Use <figure> and <figcaption> for images with captions. This provides semantic meaning and accessibility benefits. Screen readers announce figcaption as the image caption. Good for SEO as captions often contain keywords. Example: <figure>``<img src='...' alt='...'>``<figcaption>Description</figcaption>``</figure>.
