What are Alt Tags and Title Tags in HTML, how they improve SEO for an E-commerce website

1-What are Alt Tags and Title Tags:

The first thing that has to be mentioned is that An HTML tag is everything between the < and > brackets and the alt is merely one of a range of attributes that can appear inside a tag, here is an example of an HTML tag <img src=“image.jpg” alt=“image description” title=“image tooltip”>. And now to define the alt property and the title attribute or the title tags are the two primary techniques for adding descriptive textual information to web page components in HTML (Doyle, 2022). While these two characteristics may appear to function similarly, they serve quite different purposes, in brief:

v  Use the HTML alt property to supply alternative text for an element that will be displayed if it cannot be displayed (Doyle, 2022).

v  When appropriate, use the title property to provide additional text to explain the element in greater depth (Doyle, 2022).

2-how Alt and Title tags improve Search Engine Optimizer:

Search engines and other robots cannot interpret images, but images can play a crucial part in how people interpret a particular web page. Alt tags solve for this by providing text which is read by the search engines. When Googlebot or other search engine crawlers inspect a page, images with properly formatted alt text contribute to how the page is indexed and where it ranks (Bigcommerce, 2022).
