FAQ

Why are Alt Attributes important to use for images?

The benefit of this is two-fold. It helps visually-impaired users better understand the webpage or website images, and it also gives additional information to bots and spiders for indexing the page.

A good alt attribute is descriptive of the image. Make sure that it is clear and concise, using no more than 125 characters.
