Alt text describes images for accessibility and SEO, aiding search engines and users alike.
Alt text (alternative text) is an HTML attribute used to describe images on a webpage. It serves two primary purposes: improving accessibility for users with visual impairments and providing context to search engines about the content of the image. Including relevant keywords in your alt text can also enhance your image SEO, potentially improving your site’s visibility in search results. Alt text should be descriptive yet concise, typically ranging from 5 to 15 words.
Using alt text correctly can improve your site's search engine rankings and provide a better experience for users with disabilities. It also helps search engines index your images, which can lead to increased traffic.
For example, an image of a sunset over the mountains could have the alt text: alt="Sunset over the Rocky Mountains with vivid colors".
