What is the image alt text checker?

The image alt text checker lists every <img> on a page with its alt text, and flags the images that have none. It also spots alt texts that are too long or look like a file name, and images without width and height attributes.

Alt text describes an image to people who can't see it and to search engines. It's required for accessibility (WCAG) and helps your images rank in Google Images.
