Image SEO is often overlooked because text seems to be the most important. But images affect site speed, usability and how Google understands the context of a page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the photo is called IMG_4829.jpg, it tells neither the person nor the search. If the file is too large, the website loads more slowly. If the alt text is empty, another opportunity to explain the meaning of the image is lost. Small things, but they add up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The file name must be clear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Image optimisation starts even before the file is uploaded. The file must be clear, not too heavy and relevant to the theme of the page. It is better to use a clear name, such as sites-structure-plan.png, rather than a random set of numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That doesn't mean you have to cram it full of keywords. The title simply needs to describe the image. Naturally, briefly, without overdoing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The speed of the website also depends on the size of the images. When a page loads slowly, one of the most common reasons is that the pictures are too big, especially on your phone. Mobile speed is important both for the user and for SEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Alt text is no place for a list of keywords<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The alt text should explain what is seen in the picture. The description of the image helps accessibility while providing context for search engines. Bad alt text would be one word for SEO. Better would be a clear sentence about the image that is on the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEO optimisation works better when all the elements on a page speak to the same theme. Search engine optimisation is not just about text, so the title and description of an image must also be thought through. If the article is about the structure of the website, the description of the image should also be about the structure, not about something random.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
