Walk through the image practices that matter most for accessibility and SEO on WordPress — informative vs decorative, products, complex images, and human review.

Accessibility hub Fix library with OpptiAI

Progress: 0/8

Informative images have meaningful alt text (not empty, not filename).
Decorative images use empty alt="" so screen readers skip them.
Linked / button images describe the destination or action, not just “image”.
Complex images (charts, diagrams) have a short alt plus longer text nearby.
Essential text in images is also available as real text on the page.
Product / gallery images describe what is shown (not keyword lists).
AI-generated alt text is reviewed by a human before publish.
There is a process to find and fix missing alt across the media library.

Does completing this checklist mean my site is WCAG conformant?
