How do you handle missing alt text on large WordPress sites?
by•
I’ve audited hundreds of WordPress sites and keep seeing the same issue:
image alt text is missing or low-quality, especially on large sites with thousands of images.
Manual fixes don’t scale, but fully automated tools can sometimes generate poor descriptions.
I’m curious:
Do you fix alt text manually?
Ignore it unless there’s an accessibility audit?
Use plugins or scripts?
Would love to hear how others are handling this in real projects.

Thanks for the upvote 🙌
In my experience:
• Manual alt text works for small sites
• Fully automated tools often create generic or misleading text
• The best results come from AI + human control
I’m currently experimenting with a hybrid approach that prioritizes SEO-relevant images and lets site owners review AI suggestions.
Curious — what’s been your biggest pain point with alt text so far?
