Alt Text for Images
Provide Alt Texts for All Images
Alt texts (or 'alternative texts') are crucial because they describe your images to search engine crawlers and make your website more accessible to users with visual impairments.
Why They're Important:
For SEO: Search engines can't visually interpret images, but they can understand alt texts. This helps them index your image content, which can boost your site's rankings.
For Accessibility: Alt texts are used by screen readers to describe images, making your content accessible to all users.
For Technical Issues: If an image doesn't load, the alt text will show up, keeping your content understandable.
Tips for Writing Effective Alt Texts:
Be Descriptive: Use clear, descriptive language to convey the content and context of the image.
Keyword Smart: Include relevant keywords naturally, but avoid keyword stuffing.
Keep It Short & Relevant: Ensure the alt text is directly related to the image and adds value to the surrounding content.
