The required alt attribute specifies an alternate text for an image, if the image cannot be displayed. The alt attribute provides alternative information for an image if a user for some reason cannot view it

Google Bots cannot process images on the web. Therefore, it makes use of the alt attributes to understand what an image is all about.
The Image Alt text is generally considered as the title of an image, which provides a textual alternative to the web crawlers to index the web page bearing the image.
Properly phrased alt tags can increase the SEO ranking of your website’s images in Google images search results, as they tend to add more value to the user experience.

The alt attribute provides alternative information for an image if a user for some reason cannot view it (because of slow connection, an error in the src attribute, or if the user uses a screen reader).

Alt tag is used for image optimization. Google crawl a web page and easily understand the text publish on that page, So alt tag helps Google to understand page intent. If any reason image fails to load then alt tag will display in place.

Alt text helps to identify the image incase of image missing.

Alt tags are used to describe images to search engines. Alt tags will increase the chance of search engines returning your images in search results.

Google does not know the image, so alt tags will help to understand by google.
