Image and link alt / title tags

Asked by Stuart Oh 7 months ago Last activity 7 months ago

Hi

I have a question about SP Page Builder add-ons, particularly the Image Carousel and Image Overlay.

There is no way to add alt="text" to images in the Image Overlay add-on or title="text" tags to the buttons links in the Image Carousel add-on, which affects the accessibility score in core vitals.

To get around this, I manually dded the alt and title tags to the JSON file, then imported it, but SP Page Builder strips out the data that I added.

Is there a known workaround for adding alt="text" to images or title="text" tags to Image Carousel and Image Overlay add-ons? It's a pretty basic standard, after all.

Thanks

Hello Stuart,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

The Image Overlay addon uses the image as a background image. Since it is applied as a background, ALT text is not required in this case.

For the Image Carousel addon, there is an option available where you can add ALT text to each image.

Thanks.

Hi

Sorry, I forgot that the Image Overlay add-on used a background image! For the Image Carousel I was already adding alt="" tags.

I think my main concern about both add-ons was that there doesn't seem to be a way to add title="" tags to the buttons. Did I miss something there as well?

Hi Stuart,

Thanks for your clarification 🙂

You didn’t miss anything — currently, the Image Carousel and Image Overlay addons in SP Page Builder work this way.

Image carousel already provide image alt text options.

Thanks

About Titles for used Buttons in those addons, they are not needed until you use a good text for button itself, not making common mistake like "read more" or "click here" !!!

Hi Paul, yes, I'm using comprehensive button labels (an old habit), but testing the core vitals the site is being penalised for not having 'discernable titles' for accessibility.
