Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the alt attributes for the photos on your home page. It sounds frustrating to deal with this for so long.
Rank Math does indeed read the alt attributes dynamically, which means that if you have set the alt attributes in your slider photos, they should be reflected when the post loads. However, it’s important to note that Rank Math only adds missing ALT attributes for images that are included in post or page content, and not for images used in headers, sidebars, footers, or sliders unless they are specifically configured to do so.
To troubleshoot this issue:
- Check Slider Settings: Ensure that the slider plugin you are using allows for custom alt attributes to be set for each image. Some slider plugins may not pass these attributes correctly to the front end.
- Enable Image SEO Module: Make sure that the Image SEO module is enabled in Rank Math. You can do this by navigating to Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Images and ensuring that the Add missing ALT attributes option is enabled.
- Clear Cache: If you are using a caching plugin, clear your site cache after making changes to ensure that the latest settings are applied.
- Check Theme Compatibility: Sometimes, themes may override certain settings. Check if your theme has specific settings for image attributes that might conflict with Rank Math.

This is a custom theme. There is no slider plugin. I’ve gone through all the steps you requested. Please help further.
Hello,
The images that don’t have the ALT attribute are from the slider on your homepage and your website logo
If you want to add the ALT attribute to those images and pass the test, you need to get in touch with your theme provider for assistance.
Looking forward to helping you.
