Hi

Why do you need alt text on your images?

Englandsadverti · 02-10-2016, 11:48 PM

Because Crawler not able to read image, it's read only text so that's why need ALT tag for images.

If for any reason an image does not render on a web page, the alt tag will display in place. This means visitors to that web page understand what image should be there even though they are unable to see it.

alt text also referred to as alternative text or alt tags are used to describe the images on your web page. If for any reason an image does not render on a web page, the alt tag will display in place. Search engines, such as Google and Bing regularly crawl web pages. It is easy for them to understand text copy on a page, however, images are difficult to read. This is where alt text comes to play. Alt text is used to describe to search engines what the image is showing, allowing search engines to give users better results when performing an image search.

Alt tag for image is basically use to crawl the image through search engine.

Search engine spider can't read image so that we use alt tag to introduce image to search engine spider.
