Image Alt Tag Checker

This SEO and accessibility auditor scans webpage images detecting missing alt attributes, empty alt values, or generic descriptions like "image" that fail accessibility standards and SEO best practices. The checker crawls specified URLs extracting all <img> tags, validates alt attribute presence and meaningfulness through pattern matching flagging single-word or templated values, and reports statistics on compliance percentages. Detailed results list specific images needing attention with source URLs, current values, and improvement suggestions based on visible filenames or surrounding context. Bulk mode processes entire sitemaps identifying patterns where CMS configurations omit alt text, integration with content workflows prevents publishing images lacking descriptions, and competitive analysis benchmarks alt text quality against industry standards. Applications include achieving W CAG accessibility certification requiring all images have meaningful alternatives, improving SEO as search engines use alt text for image indexing, diagnosing why visually impaired users report poor screen reader experiences, or auditing e-commerce sites ensuring product images have descriptive text aiding discovery.
