Alt Tags also known as Alt Text are text descriptions associated with your images. They are used to give information about that image for website accessibility and are also important for Search Engine Optimisation.

An alt tag is the text that will displayed to assist visually impaired users with screen reader functionality or generally, if the image can’t load for some reason, and is also used by Search Engines to understand this type of content. The alt text should describe the content of the image accurately, without being too long.
