melissa_kelly Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Hey there- I want to do the right thing for accessibility and also for SEO. And I also want to advise my clients the right way! So here's my two part question: 1) If I have a purely decorative image block (for example, on my website I have little floral graphics scattered throughout) and I don't add any alt-text to those, is it true that Squarespace will then not announce those to Assistive Technologies? That is what it says in the documentation here. Should I also remove the image file name to be safe, in this case? 2) Will it hurt my SEO if my site gets crawled and there's no alt text on these images? (I'm less concerned about this part, but curious). Thanks in advance! Melissa Link to comment
tuanphan Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 #2. In my opinion, Google AI (as well as other search engines) are smart enough to understand what your image contains, so whether there is ALT or not, they know what the image is. . melissa_kelly 1 Email me if you have need any help (free, of course.).
