Why does image ALT text matter?
Alternative text describes an image when it cannot be seen and can improve accessibility. It also gives search engines contextual information about an image. Decorative images may legitimately use empty ALT text, so automated checks should be reviewed in context.
How to use the Image Alt Text Checker
- Enter the URL, text or details requested by the tool.
- Run the check or generator.
- Review the result and apply changes only after checking them against your site and content.
SEO guidance
Use this tool as one part of an SEO workflow. Automated checks are useful for finding implementation problems quickly, but they do not replace manual review of search intent, content quality, crawlability, internal linking and the overall site architecture.
