Why This Matters & Usage Tips

The alt attribute serves two crucial purposes:

• SEO: Search engines use alt text to understand what your image represents, especially if it can’t be read by crawlers. Well-crafted alt text can boost relevance for related keywords.
• Accessibility: Screen readers rely on alt text to describe images to visually impaired users, making it essential for an inclusive website.

General Guidelines:

• Provide a concise, descriptive alt text that accurately represents the image content.
• Avoid keyword stuffing or overly long alt text.
• If the image is purely decorative, an empty alt (e.g., alt="") can be appropriate. But do so intentionally.
• Don’t leave the alt attribute out entirely. Even if empty, it’s better to have alt="" than no alt attribute at all.

Steps to Use:

1. Enter the full URL of your page (e.g., https://www.example.com/gallery).
2. Click "Check Images." The tool lists all `` tags, showing whether each has alt text, an empty alt attribute, or no alt attribute at all.
3. Copy the results for your records or share them with your dev team to fix or improve alt attributes.
