There’s nothing wrong with the image’s width or height but you might want to consider giving your images a human-readable title that can then be used as the image’s alt text.
Thanks ESMI.
How would I go about doing that?
When you upload an image, edit the image’s title to produce something a little more meaningful. This text will be used if the image isn’t available or can’t be viewed (eg by search engines). You can also browse the Media Library and amend any existing image titles using the Edit link.
I see, so that means using some text about the image in the ALT part?
I never used to go near the image after it had been inserted, I always thought the captions were very SEO unfriendly?

Yes

The alt text isn’t a caption and, providing you don’t use it to keyword-spam, it’s actually quite SE friendly.

Where would this ‘keyword spam’ be located if it was being used? 🙂
Thanks for the help so far.
In this instance, within the alt text. As I said, it’s supposed to be there if the image isn’t available or can’t be viewed, so should contain a short phrase or sentence that describes the image. But some people use it to add extra keywords to their content in the belief that it will help their PR. It doesn’t.
So, using captions aren’t SEO unfriendly as long as I insert a relevant keyword into the ‘ALT’ part?
See, they’re been bringing my SEO score down, but that must be the missing ALT info.
Then I went to the trouble of designing a near perfect copy on Photoshop but I’ve to make a new image and upload it everytime, for new articles.
So captions won’t effect my SEO score as long as I’ve the ALT thingy done.?
Thanks for all your help so far 🙂
