Image Alt Text

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 38% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

At the current install trend, crossing 10K+ in roughly 122 days.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Simple, lightweight, and very useful. Updating alt text for large media libraries is now effortless. A real time-saver!

   The Image Alt Text plugin is easy to install, easy to get running, and easy to understand. I have six blogs with thousands of images without any alternative text at all! First, I used Image Alt Text to add simple alt text in bulk to all images. This took a matter of a few minutes for each site. Then I went back and manually rewrote the alt text to be readable and meaningful. Needless to say, this took considerably longer. Thanks for a nifty plugin!

   After I uploaded alternative texts for over a hundred products, I realized I couldn’t keep doing it that way. Then I found this plugin, and with just one click, all the uploads were completed.

   I had a lot of empty alt and I need to fill them for checking system, so that plugin helped me automatically paste alts from heading. Thanks devs!
