Day 2 Use Alt Attributes to Optimize Images
Search engines aren’t able to fully interpret the content of images without textual support. That’s why using Alt text to describe your images is so important: it allows search engines to understand the image content. And, if for some reason an image can’t be loaded, the Alt attribute (alternative description) displays the specified alternative text.
Alt text also allows visually impaired users who use text-to-speech software to access web content. You have to optimize for all audience members, after all!
The Alt attribute is integrated within the image link in the HMTL source code:
<img src=”myimage.jpg” alt=““a beautiful image with an Alt attribute”>
Hands-on Tips for the Use of Alt Attributes:
ALT
● Go through your website and check if you added all ALT attributes to images already live.
