Why Alt Text Matters
Alt text serves both SEO and accessibility goals
Accessibility First
Screen readers read alt text aloud for visually impaired users. Descriptive alt text is required by WCAG 2.1 accessibility guidelines.
Image SEO
Google uses alt text to understand image content and index it in Google Images. Keyword-rich alt text can drive additional organic traffic.
Fallback Text
When an image fails to load, alt text is displayed in its place, ensuring users understand what content they're missing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is alt text?
Alt text (alternative text) is an HTML attribute added to image tags. It describes the image content in words, making it accessible to screen readers and indexable by search engines.
How long should alt text be?
Keep alt text concise — ideally under 125 characters. Screen readers may cut off longer text. Describe the most important aspect of the image in plain, natural language.
Should decorative images have alt text?
Decorative images (backgrounds, dividers, icons for visual purposes only) should have an empty alt attribute: alt="". This tells screen readers to skip the image entirely.
Should I stuff keywords into alt text?
No. Google penalizes keyword stuffing in alt text. Include your target keyword naturally if it accurately describes the image, but prioritize a clear description. For example, use "SEO dashboard showing keyword rankings" not "SEO SEO tool keyword ranking best SEO."
