Getting Started

Image ALT Text:

Image ALT text (alternative text) is a short, descriptive text added to images that explains their content. It helps search engines understand what an image represents and allows screen readers to describe images to visually impaired users.

Introduction to Image ALT Text:

Images enhance visual appeal, but without ALT text, they remain invisible to search engines and assistive technologies. The Image ALT Text feature in SEO Repair Kit automatically identifies images missing ALT attributes. It provides an easy way to add or update them—without manual searching or technical effort.

Why It Matters:

Missing ALT text can negatively affect both SEO and accessibility. Search engines rely on ALT text to index images properly, while users with screen readers depend on it to understand visual content. By optimizing image ALT text, you:

• Improve image search visibility
• Enhance accessibility compliance
• Strengthen on-page SEO signals
• Create a better experience for all users

Requirements:

• SEO Repair Kit plugin installed and activated
• Access to the WordPress Media Library
• Images uploaded to your website
• No coding or technical skills required
