How to Use This Alt Text Checker
Why Alt Text Matters for SEO and Accessibility
Alt text serves two critical purposes: it makes images accessible to screen reader users and helps search engines understand image content. Google Image Search drives significant traffic for many websites, and descriptive alt attributes are the primary signal Google uses to index and rank images.
Missing or generic alt text like "image" or "photo" is a missed opportunity. Good alt text is specific, concise, and describes both the content and context of the image. Avoid keyword stuffing — write naturally as if you were describing the image to someone who cannot see it. This approach satisfies both accessibility standards and search engine requirements.
