Hello everyone, I'm Jared! 👋 Today, I'm excited to introduce Altnado, the easiest way to ensure images on your website have alt text, boosting your site's SEO and accessibility! 🔎 The problem Many medium-large content sites have hundreds or thousands of images that do not have alt text. On top of being an accessibility problem, this is an opportunity to show Google additional information about the content on the page, driving more traffic and improving rankings. 💡 The solution All you do is copy and paste a script onto your page. Altnado detects images on the site, generates alt text for them, and updates the alt text on page load for all visitors, including Googlebot. It's free for the first 25 images, no credit card required. Please give it a try and let me know what you think!

Congratulations on the launch @jrhizor. Quick question - adding a script tag would add the alt text once the js code is executed. right? The search engines would need it before JS is executed. No?

@ashitvora Google uses a headless Chromium to render the page and execute JavaScript before parsing the rendered HTML. When developing this, we used Google's URL Inspection Tool to validate that the editing we're doing is actually seen by Googlebot. The inspection tool tracks the console.log messages we make, which show that the alt text updates before Googlebot processes the page's contents.

@jrhizor @ashitvora Very interesting point Ashit. This might actually impact the not so popular search engines and not sure how it works with SSR but a great tool still.
