📖 What is Alt Tag?
The alt tag (incorrectly used to name “alt text”) is inserted within the image tag in HTML and used to specify alternative text for an image. Including a description of the image so screen readers and search engines can get an idea of what is on it is considered a good practice for accessibility and improving content relevance.
By using keywords in your image alternate text, you can optimize them for Google’s image search service.
