This tip has been brought with version 2.6.1 of The SEO Framework.
Do you use Images in your Posts and Pages? Be sure to describe them!
Then, Search Users are able to find your website through the Image Results.
This can be easily done by editing the Image through WordPress’ Media Library, or when inserting an Image in the content.
When you click on an Image, you can then define various details.
The Alt-text is looked at first. If that’s not found, then the Image Caption is used. Lastly, if that’s also not found, then the Image Title will be used.
Make sure it clearly describes the Image. Also, note that it will fall back to the Alt-text when the browser can’t render the Image for any reason.
It’s also a great addition for people who are vision impaired, so they’re more aware of the content.
If you want to be on top of search engine, you should also be concern on how to optimize your image for SEO. Not all website owners know this, I think its very important to take note of it.
Exactly! Large images play a major part in page loading time for most connections, which is a ranking factor as it may increase bounce rate.
A plugin like Smush is especially helpful for if you don’t want to optimize them manually.
