Why are image alt tags important..?

An alt tag, also known as "alt attribute" and "alt description," is an HTML attribute applied to image tags to provide a text alternative for search engines. Applying images to alt tags such as product photos can positively impact an ecommerce store's search engine rankings.
 
Image alt text is the text that is used to define the image on a webpage. Search engines cannot read images directly and hence alt texts are used to help search engine crawlers know about your image and rank them higher in search engines.
 
Crawler does not see the way we see the images. It requires code texts to read the content and alt tags serve the opportunity for them to read the same. If you do not use alt tags, crawler won't see anything there and this will eliminate your images from the chances of being showed up in Google Image Search.
 
ALT labels are likewise appeared to the site guest if for reasons unknown their program doesn't render the picture. Screen perusers for the outwardly hindered will peruse this content, making your picture available. Along these lines, the ALT content plays a job in client experience since it tells the peruser what the picture is the point at which they can't see it.
