What are ALT tags?
Alt Tags helps screen-reading tools describe images to visually impaired readers and allows search engines to better crawl and rank your website.
An alt tag, also known as "alt attribute" and "alt description," is an HTML attribute applied to image tags to provide a text alternative for search engines.
Alt tags are metadata that offer text descriptions of web images for search engines and screen readers for the visually impaired. As a best practice, they often include text that may appear on the image, or a simple summary of the graphic.
