Let’s face it—SEO in 2025 is a whole different game than it was just a few years ago. Google’s algorithms are more sophisticated, your audience expects flawless user experience, and accessibility? It’s no longer optional.
If your images don’t have alt text, you’re not just missing out on organic traffic. You’re also making your site harder to use for real people—especially those relying on assistive technologies.
The worst part? Most WordPress site owners don’t even realize it’s happening.
But here’s the good news: you don’t need to spend hours updating alt text manually. With the Image Alt Text Manager plugin by WPSaad, there’s a faster, automated, and smarter way to fix this—site-wide.
Why Alt Text Still Matters (A Lot)
Alt text is more than just a checkbox—it’s a critical signal for SEO and a lifeline for accessibility.
According to Google Search Central, search engines still rely heavily on alt attributes to understand images. Without them, your content is invisible in Google Images and Discover.
Alt text also allows screen readers to describe images to visually impaired users. It’s essential for both search engines and humans.
The WordPress Problem: Manual Doesn’t Scale
Adding alt text manually in WordPress is fine—until your site grows.
- A blog with hundreds of posts?
- A WooCommerce store with 1,000+ products?
- A content-heavy site with frequent uploads?
Manual updates are slow and inconsistent. This is where many sites fall behind on SEO and accessibility.
Automate Image SEO with Image Alt Text Manager
The Image Alt Text Manager plugin by WPSaad automates everything. It generates alt and title attributes for images dynamically—without modifying the Media Library.
{post_title} | {site_title}That simple rule applies across all selected post types, turning a post like “Top 10 Coffee Brewing Tips” into:
