How to Run an ALT Text Coverage Audit on WordPress
An ALT text coverage audit shows exactly how many WordPress images are missing alt attributes, and which ones genuinely need fixing first.

Founder and developer of OpptiAI. I design WordPress image SEO tooling — bulk alt text, review-before-save workflows, and free public audits — and I write the guides, Learn videos, and comparisons that explain how to use them without overclaiming results.
Experience and focus
Day to day I ship the OpptiAI Alt Text plugin (listed on WordPress.org under the legacy BeepBeep slug), maintain the public image SEO audit, and publish methodology so aggregates stay honest. That product work is the source of the how-tos: Media Library triage, WooCommerce gallery remediation, agency SOWs, and accessibility-minded review loops.
I do not sell regulated financial or legal advice. Accessibility writing explains WCAG-minded image practices without claiming whole-site conformance from alt text alone. SEO writing treats Google Images as a discovery surface — coverage first, traffic second, no invented revenue multiples.
What I cover
- WordPress media-library and image SEO workflows
- Useful alt text for accessibility and Google Images
- WooCommerce product and gallery image remediation
- Human review and quality control for AI-generated drafts
- Honest alternatives pages versus SEO suites and compressors
Disclosure
I build OpptiAI, including its Alt Text plugin. Product comparisons disclose that relationship and identify where competing tools are stronger. Composite workflow examples are labelled illustrative rather than named-client testimonials. State-of-industry percentages stay unpublished until the audit methodology threshold is met.
