Images: Alt Text Over 100 Characters

This indicator identifies images on your website that have alt text exceeding 100 characters. Alt text provides a textual description of an image, aiding accessibility for visually impaired users and providing context to search engines. However, excessively long alt text may hinder the user experience and could be an indicator of potential issues. Alt text should be concise, descriptive, and provide accurate information about the image, improving accessibility and SEO optimization.

To address the findings of the Images: Alt Text Over 100 Characters indicator, review the alt text for the identified images and ensure it accurately describes the content while keeping it concise. Consider providing meaningful descriptions without exceeding a recommended length, typically around 100 characters or fewer.

• Enhanced Accessibility: By providing concise and meaningful alt text for images, you ensure that visually impaired users can understand the content and context of the images on your website, improving their overall browsing experience.
• Improved SEO and Image Search Visibility: Optimizing alt text by keeping it descriptive, concise, and relevant helps search engines understand the image content, increasing the likelihood of your images appearing in relevant image search results.
• Avoidance of Keyword Stuffing: Excessively long alt text may be an indication of keyword stuffing, which can negatively impact SEO. By keeping alt text within an appropriate length, you maintain a balance between accessibility and SEO best practices.
