How image SEO works in Showit

Quick answer

FastaSEO scans every image on your site and checks for poor file names, missing alt text, incorrect formats, and oversized files. It then automatically prepares optimised versions for you to upload back into Showit.

How to fix it in Showit

1. Run a scan in FastaSEO to check all images across your site

2. Review the Images tab to see which issues were found

3. FastaSEO automatically prepares optimised versions of your images where possible

4. Download the optimised images from FastaSEO

5. Upload the optimised versions back into Showit to replace the originals

6. Note: you still need to manually upload the optimised images back into Showit after FastaSEO prepares them

What's the issue

FastaSEO scans all your images and checks for common issues including poor file names, missing alt text, alt text that is too long, images that are too large, images that are too small, and images that need compression. It then makes image optimisation significantly faster by automatically preparing optimised versions for you.

Why it matters

• Optimised images help Google understand your content, help AI bots understand your website context, improve page speed, improve accessibility, and increase visibility in search results. Image optimisation can normally take hours — FastaSEO automates the process by detecting issues, compressing images, improving file names, creating optimised alt text, identifying oversized files, and highlighting SEO problems.

What good looks like

Every image on your site has a descriptive file name using dashes, meaningful alt text, is the correct format (JPEG for photos, PNG only where transparency is needed), and is sized appropriately for where it is displayed.
