To what extend is using Share-alike licensed media in a website "remix, transform, or build upon the material"?

I'm using some images that have a CC BY-SA 4.0 license in my website. Of course I apply the correct attribution as is required by the license.

I am, however, confused by the "ShareAlike" section that states "ShareAlike — If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute your contributions under the same license as the original."

I am not able to license the whole website of even page on which the image is displayed under the same license as the image.

Does to "remix, transform or build upon the material" refer to changes or adaptations of the image, or would it mean I need to license the whole website on which the image is published, including any other images or texts?
