there are some probabilities that an image would just not load in a browser or the user has disabled images for data saving or any other issues. At that time, alt will work as a substitute text informing what the image is about. <img src="girl.png" alt="a girl with an umbrella"> so the above example tells us that if the picture fails to load, "a girl with an umbrella" text will appear in the image box instead.

whenever you attach an image link there's a chance something might go wrong either due to a wrong src links or other reasons.in these the alt has to be displayed

it's an alternative text which will get displayed in place of image if image fails to load via browser get request (404) or if images are disabled by user for data saving
