What's the issue

FastaSEO found images where the alt text contains random or meaningless characters. This can happen when a field is filled in accidentally or as a placeholder. Gibberish alt text gives Google and AI bots no useful information about the image and can be seen as a negative signal.

Why it matters

• Alt text is how Google and AI bots understand what your images show. Random characters are meaningless to search engines and accessibility tools — they provide no context about the image and can actually be worse than leaving the field empty. A clear, descriptive alt text gives search engines a real signal and helps your images appear in relevant searches.

What good looks like

A short, natural description of what is in the image. For example: "Wedding photographer capturing first dance at outdoor reception" or "Brand photographer reviewing photos on a laptop in a bright studio".

How long this takes

Each image takes less than a minute to update.
