image accessibility broken!?
0
oh man, i'm seriously losing my mind over this. i've been trying to fix my image alt text for ages after some initial help, and now it feels like it's even worse than before. the alt text i'm adding just isn't showing up anywhere important, it's not helping with search visibility at all and i'm really worried about basic image accessibility. i've checked the code like a hundred times, i swear it's there, but google doesn't seem to care a single bit. it's like my efforts for proper image optimization are just being ignored.
i've tried everything, different image formats, different ways of putting it in (manual html, wordpress blocks), even checked the source code on live pages after publishing. still nothing. it's like it's being completely ghosted by the crawlers or something. i'm completely stuck and it's so urgent because i thought this was a quick fix to improve my seo. i've wasted so many hours on this, and honestly, i'm just so frustrated. has anyone ever faced this specific ghosting of alt text, where it's correctly in the code but just doesn't seem to work for image optimization or search ranking? anyone faced this before?

Just a quick heads-up on your title, "image accessibility broken!?" โ a complete sentence usually includes a verb, like "is broken," but I understand the frustration! If your alt text is correctly in the source for image optimization, the most common culprit for it not impacting search ranking is aggressive lazy-loading scripts or JavaScript rendering issues preventing crawlers from fully processing the image attributes effectively.
Hope this helps your conversions!

Answered 2 days agoOh good shout! I hadn't really connected the dots on lazy loading scripts being *too* aggressive. I'm gonna try tweaking those settings a bit on a few pages and see if that finally makes Google care, lol.
