    J’utilise ce plugin depuis quelques années maintenant. Il me fait gagner en résultat SEO car mes photos remontent mieux dans Google Images. Il est facile à utiliser puisqu’il n’y a rien à faire, il créé les contenus de balises alt automatiquement en reprenant le titre de l’image. Il est stable (aucun conflit avec d’autres plugins ni aucun plantage sur les mises à jour automatiques).Je recommande.

    Don’t run bulk updater. Even though I’ve unchecked “Set Image Caption for new uploads” and “Set Image Description for new uploads” and saved all settings, the bulk updater has still added them to every single photo, and that alone created a real mess on my site. Never again.

    The support is good and the plugin does what it promises, saving a lot of time. Unfortunately, the plugin had the same bug for many months (now fixed with support), so I can’t say it’s perfect. It was a crippling bug related to HEXIF data when uploading JPEG and WEBP images. Considering the cost of the plugin, I wouldn’t have expected it to last this long, but all’s well that ends well.

    The alt text bulk update feature of this plugin for the existing images is FAKE and misleading. Why? Because the updating of the image alt txts is implemented only inside the media gallery, and not inside the actual posts. Meaning, Google and other search engines will never be able to see the updated alt texts. It means, the alt text update from this plugin for all the existing images will have absolutely no SEO benefit. Meaning, it is an useless effort and a complete waste of time. The plugin author very well knows about this, but has not disclosed this in his plugin description, because his intention was to maximize the plugin downloads, by boasting a fake and misleading feature description of this plugin.
