What's the issue

FastaSEO found images where the alt text is only one word or fewer. Single-word alt text like "photo" or "image" doesn't describe the content meaningfully. Aim for 2 to 8 words that clearly describe what is in the image.

Why it matters

• Alt text needs to describe what is actually in the image clearly enough for someone who cannot see it to understand. A single word rarely achieves this. Google and AI bots use alt text to understand image content — more descriptive text gives them more to work with and helps your images appear in relevant searches.

What good looks like

2 to 8 words that clearly describe the image. For example: "Bride and groom walking through autumn leaves" or "Brand photographer reviewing images on a laptop". Not: "photo", "image", or "bride".

How long this takes

Each image takes less than a minute to update.
