AltTextes
AltTextes, also known as alt texts or alt descriptions, are short pieces of text that provide a textual description of an image on a webpage. They are used to convey the content or purpose of the image to users who cannot view it, such as those using screen readers or text-based browsers. AltTextes are typically added to the HTML code of a webpage using the "alt" attribute within the "img" tag. For example, an image of a cat might have an alt text of "A fluffy cat sitting on a windowsill." AltTextes are important for accessibility, as they ensure that all users can access and understand the content of a webpage, regardless of their ability to see the images. They are also beneficial for search engine optimization (SEO), as search engines use alt texts to understand the content of images and improve the ranking of webpages. However, it is important to use descriptive and accurate alt texts, as using generic or irrelevant alt texts can confuse users and negatively impact SEO.
