Joomla! Plugin - Auto Images ALT

Why ALT attributes matter
ALT attributes are essential for web accessibility and SEO. They provide alternative text for images so that screen readers can describe the content to visually impaired users. Search engines also rely on ALT text to understand the context of images, which improves website ranking and visibility. Missing or empty ALT attributes can reduce accessibility compliance and weaken your SEO efforts.

About EAC Auto Images ALT
EAC Auto Images ALT is a lightweight Joomla system plugin that automatically adds ALT attributes to all `` tags that are missing or have empty ALT values. Instead of leaving your images without description, the plugin intelligently generates ALT text based on the image filename.

How it works

• If an image already has a meaningful ALT → it remains unchanged.
• If an image has an empty ALT (alt="") → the plugin replaces it with the filename as ALT text.
• If an image has no ALT at all → the plugin inserts one automatically.
• If an image has a bare alt attribute without value → it is replaced properly.

Key Benefits

• Improves accessibility for users with screen readers.
• Boosts SEO ranking by ensuring every image has descriptive ALT text.
• Runs automatically on the server side (not JavaScript), so ALT attributes appear in the page source.
• Safe and lightweight: only processes content, does not touch or other markup.
• Compatible with Joomla 4.x, and 5.x.
