@Suvidit-Academy said in Icon Alt description:
Adding alt tags to icons is very effective for improving accessibility and SEO.
Accessibility: Alt tags provide a textual description of an image for people who are unable to see it, such as users with visual impairments or those who are using a screen reader. By adding alt tags to icons, you can ensure that these users can still understand the purpose of the icon and interact with your website or app.
SEO: Alt tags can also help improve your website's SEO. When Google and other search engines crawl your website, they look at the alt text of your images to help understand the content of your pages. By using relevant and descriptive alt text, you can help Google better understand your pages and rank them higher in search results.
Here are a few tips for writing effective alt tags for icons:
- Be descriptive: The alt text should accurately describe the icon and its purpose. Avoid using vague or generic terms like "image" or "graphic."
- Be specific: The alt text should be as specific as possible. For example, instead of saying "heart icon," you could say "red heart icon with a white outline."
- Add context: The alt text should provide context about the icon's surrounding content. For example, if the icon is next to a text link that says "Sign up," the alt text could say "Sign up icon."
- Keep it short: The alt text should be no more than 125 characters long.
