What's the issue

FastaSEO found images where the alt text is more than 20 words long. Alt text should be a concise description — not a paragraph. Overly long alt text can be treated as keyword stuffing by search engines, which is a negative SEO signal.

Why it matters

• Alt text should be concise and descriptive — typically 2 to 20 words. When alt text becomes too long it starts to look like keyword stuffing, which search engines can penalise. It also becomes harder for screen readers to present naturally to visitors with accessibility needs. Keep it focused on what is actually in the image.

What good looks like

A concise description of 2 to 20 words. For example: "Female brand photographer adjusting lighting in a bright Melbourne studio" — clear, descriptive, and to the point. Not a full sentence with multiple keywords crammed in.
