Image Alt Tags not Displaying Correctly in Code

I have had a lot of problems getting indexed in Bing and most of the error codes refer to the huge amount of code above the fold and the images not having alt tags – so basically Bing does not know what the site is about.

I have two sites using Xstore, one is older using WPBakery which does not have these problems and this one using Elementor, which puts a lot of code on the top of the pages and makes the pages very long. The main text/images on the page are near the bottom of the source code. Can all this code be ‘moved’?

The ‘Alt tag’ problem I do not understand at all. Every image on my site has proper ‘alt’ tags, but when I look at the code it shows the ALT as the URL for the image, not the text I enter when I upload an image.

For instance, . In my Media Library, the Alt text for this image is ‘How to Be More Feminine for Crossdressing / Gender Expression’ but this tag does not show in the source code.

Can you please let me know if there is some setting I must change so that the proper ALT tags display in the code, or what can be done about this as it is affecting my postion / indexing in search engines.

Thanks.

Didn’t mean to post the image, I put the code from the source code as an example and the image displayed instead. I have removed the brackets so it hopefully displays as text.

Hello, AshleyW,

Thank you for contacting us and for using XStore.

We checked your media from admin dashboard and we saw that your images have correct alt texts mostly but some of them have empty alt texts -> https://gyazo.com/478f8c10565fd2ba2a8922952ee51bb5

Checking the image you sent we saw only 404 page which means you deleted that image from your website -> https://prnt.sc/n4Gk96j8N3VI

Checking your shop and found that most of your product images are shown with the correct alt texts they have -> https://prnt.sc/TnnchNzr0H5T , https://prnt.sc/ZsCNlDdznn9w , https://prnt.sc/0IUYOTDxnoJG

If you have any other questions, please provide correct links, screenshots, and more details of the issue.

Kind Regards,
8theme team

hi,

No, that image isn’t deleted – its on this page https://www.tiffanyhart.co.uk/how-to-be-more-feminine-for-crossdressing-and-gender-expression/. Both beginning and end < > tags were removed from my message so you could see the URL, not the image. If you open the image from the above page in a new tab and see the ‘source code’, you will see it is as I mentioned previously – img src=”https://www.tiffanyhart.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/crossdresser-in-lingerie.jpg” alt=”https://www.tiffanyhart.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/crossdresser-in-lingerie.jpg” class=”shrinkToFit” width=”388″ height=”669″.

It is the same even with the main Tiffany Hart Logo in the top bar (<> tags again removed) – img src=”https://www.tiffanyhart.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/tiffany-hart-lingerie-logo.png” alt=”https://www.tiffanyhart.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/tiffany-hart-lingerie-logo.png” class=”transparent”) and all the other main images on the site and in the Blog. None show the correct Alt / text description. Product ALT tags are not affected.

Please can you check this as it is not right. All main site images have ALT tags that are not showing in source.

Hello, AshleyW,

Thank you for your response.

Here is what we can see:
dev tools -> https://prnt.sc/-DNQ3f5Ptrnj
page source -> https://prnt.sc/du9mlVF_CXp2

Please, double clear your cache and restart google robots to indexing your pages if you still see issues.

Thank you for your cooperation and we look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind Regards,
