Finding Missing Alt Attributes for Your Web Images
Method 1: Works with all CMS (Video Tutorial)
Method 2: Works only on Webflow

Why are Alt Attributes Important?
- Helps Search Engines
- Enhances Your Website's Accessibility: Alt attributes enable audio descriptions of what the image conveys for visually impaired individuals, for example.
What are the benefits for the SEO of your website in having well-defined Alt attributes?
- Rank Higher in search engine queries.
