Stop adding sh*t.

Should I add alt text to my images?

Does it benefit your user?

YES!!

If you use Wordpress or almost any Content Management system, when you upload an image you’ll see a field that says “Alt text” This is the most negleted field I see but it’s really important. The text you add in this field helps users with disabilites like visual imparements. Not only does it help them, it can help you rank higher as Google wants all sites to be accessible.

Use this field at all times!
