Alt Text
Alt text is the textual alternative for an image, declared via the HTML alt attribute, that conveys the image's meaning to people who cannot see it — read aloud by screen readers, displayed when images fail to load, and used for search-engine indexing.
About Alt Text
Decorative images take alt="" (empty alt). Functional images describe the function (e.g. "Search" for a magnifying-glass button). Content images describe the meaningful information conveyed.
