Summary
Alt tags, provide a brief description of the content of an image or a link. When users hover over an image or link, the alt tag appears as a tooltip, providing additional information about the content.
This can be particularly useful for users who are visually impaired and use screen readers to navigate websites.
These users rely on alt tags to understand the content of images and links, since they cannot see the images themselves.
Additionally, alt tags can improve the accessibility and usability of a website for all users by providing more context and information about the content they are interacting with.
