All is in the title, it is very difficult to make an ALT including the keyword be recognised by Math Rank tool. The status still mention “you should add an ALT to an image bla bla”.
I tried : save the page, reload the page, clear the Elementor cache, and so on…
Nothing works. And sometimes, after dozens of trys and reformulation of ALT (still with the keyword, the same…), it works. But hours lost never come back…Thank you for your help.

Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the ALT tags not being recognized by the Rank Math tool. It can be frustrating when changes do not reflect as expected. Here are a few steps you can take to ensure that your ALT text is set up correctly:
-
Check the ALT Text: Make sure that the ALT text you are using includes the primary focus keyword naturally and is descriptive of the image. Avoid keyword stuffing, as this can sometimes lead to issues.
-
Using the Gutenberg Editor: If you are using the Gutenberg editor, click on the image, and in the Block settings on the right, ensure that the ALT text is filled in correctly. Here’s a visual guide:
-
Using the Classic Editor: If you are using the Classic editor, click on the image, then click on the Pen icon to edit it. Make sure to enter your ALT text in the Alternative Text field:
-
Clear Cache: Since you mentioned clearing Elementor cache, also ensure that any caching plugins or server-side caching are cleared after making changes.
-
Automated ALT Text: If you have many images and find it tedious to add ALT text manually, consider using Rank Math’s automated solution for adding ALT text based on your image filenames. You can enable this feature in the Rank Math settings under General Settings > Images.
