Add missing ALT attributes and alt text plugins

Hello @nealumphred,

Thanks for your question.

If you have enabled the Add Missing ALT Attributes option in Rank Math, you generally do not need another plugin to add ALT text to images. Rank Math can automatically generate and add missing ALT attributes dynamically based on the settings configured under Rank Math SEO > General Settings > Images.

That said, plugins such as Image Alt Text offer more control, allowing you to manually create and manage custom ALT text for individual images.

So, if your goal is to ensure that images without ALT text are automatically handled, Rank Math’s built in feature should be sufficient. However, if you prefer to manually customize ALT text for each image, a dedicated ALT text plugin may be a better fit.

We hope that helps. Please feel free to let us know if you have any other questions.

Hello @nealumphred,

The Add Missing ALT Attributes option only adds the ALT text to the images that don’t have an ALT text set. If the image already has an ALT text, our plugin will not overwrite it.

Please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
