Description
Default Alt Text helps improve your site’s SEO and accessibility by ensuring every image always has an alt attribute. If an image in the Media Library doesn’t have an alt text set, this plugin will automatically use the image’s title instead — on the front-end only — so your database remains untouched.
This is especially useful for sites with lots of images uploaded without alt text, helping you maintain better SEO and a more accessible site without editing each image manually.
