Usage

Whenever you add an image to your website page in the site designer, you’ll be prompted to add alternative text (alt text). This text helps describe the image for users relying on screen readers and displays if the image fails to load due to slow connections, strict firewalls, or user settings. By providing alt text, your content remains accessible and understandable to all visitors, regardless of technical limitations
