Think of alt= attribute as a picture description like we use the meta description or a schema description... It is read by the search engines as well... It helps index images ...

*note this is part of search engine optimisation / optimization and often overlooked by developers.

Answer 9

Well alt stands for alternative text the text inside the alt attribute will be shown only well image failed to load or when we write wrong path , meaning is simple when some situation occur where image is not able to show then the text you wrote inside alt attribute will be shown in browser

Example
<img src="let's say I have mentioned wrong path of image here" alt="oops! image failed to load">

Output:-
oops! image failed to load

This output because I have entered wrong path of image their are many more case like after entering path I have move to image to the another folder and so on..

Hope This with help you :)

Browsers can be set to not show images (for speedier download). I think (but not 100% sure as it's been years since I've done any html) that... what ever you put in the 'alt' keyword will show up instead. Before broadband, all we had was (max) 56 kps modems.

Answer 11

If you don't put alt and your image would not found in your code, then the alt will describe about the image.
Hope u understood..!

Answer 12

If due to some reason your image doesn't loads then this alt attribute will come in handy for you. It just displays alternate text for your image. For example: when the path of image provided by you is wrong, alternate text for image will be show instead of a image so it is a best practice to use alt attribute for images.

Answer 13

It's a common practice especially if you want to work with XML
