What is alt text and why it’s important

Alternative text, aka "alt text," is a brief descriptive text indexed by search engines that conveys the contextual content of an image. This is important to include in your site’s images for several reasons, with the main 2 being:

1. Web accessibility - Alt text is crucial for site visitors with visual impairments who use screen readers to browse the web. When a screen reader encounters an image, it reads the alt text aloud, allowing users to understand the content and context of the image. This makes site content more accessible to a wider audience, including those with disabilities.
2. SEO - Alt text provides better image descriptions within the right context, which search engine crawlers pick up and index. This means an increased SERP rank potential for your site.
