How the ALT attribute generator works

    Hello,

    I use the ALT attribute generator, which works very well.

    I would like to know how it works. Is the data kept in the DB or does a script generate the attributes when the page loads? I would have liked to persist the data to find them directly from the media tab.

    Thanks

  • Hello,

    Thanks for contacting us and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    The addition of ALT texts to images is done dynamically, and the actual ALT texts of the images do not change. That means that if you change these settings and go inside the WordPress gallery, the images will still not have any ALT text. But if you check the ALT text on an actual post, you will find it, as Rank Math applies the ALT text at runtime.

    Hope this helps. Let us know if you need any other assistance.

    Thank you for the answer.
    Are you thinking of adding an option to persist the generated attributes in order to lighten the page loads?

    Hello,

    Currently, we do not have plans for that as our scripts for the ALT text generation run very fast when compared to retrieving the data from the database (which happens when the ALT text is added to the media library).

    However, if this changes in the future, we’ll ensure to notify you.

    Hope that helps clear the situation.

    Thank you.
