03 / Website use cases
Where to use image alternative text audit
Missing alt text is one of the most common accessibility faults, and it is hard to spot in the editor because images look fine. Image alt text audit checks the images on the published page and lists those that need work, with a reason and a button to find each one, shown only to people who can edit the page.
Site templates
Place it in a footer template to check every page while logged in.
Content reviews
Find file-name alt text left by uploads.

07 / Requirements and compatibility
Image alternative text audit compatibility with Elementor
- Requires Elementor; works without Elementor Pro and WooCommerce.
- Checks <img> alt attributes on the page being viewed; it does not scan the whole site or the Media Library.
- Runs in the visitor’s browser; nothing is sent to the server.
Complementor uses classic Elementor APIs. Atomic-native controls are not implemented. Check your theme, cache and integrations on a staging site before release.
08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot image alternative text audit
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why do visitors not see the panel?
Who sees the results is set to editors only. That is the default.
Why is an image missing from the list?
It is hidden, a CSS background, inside a frame, or outside the area checked.
Why is a decorative image flagged?
It is inside a link or button with no other text, so the link has no name.
Why does it say the element was not found?
No element has the CSS ID you entered.
Image alternative text audit plugin questions
Does it need Elementor Pro?
No. It works with the free version of Elementor.
Does it change any images?
No. It only reads the page and lists findings.
Can it tell if alt text is good?
No. It checks for missing, empty, file-name, long and “image of” text, not whether the text describes the image.
Do visitors see it?
Not by default; only people who can edit the page. You can choose Everyone.
Does it slow the page?
For visitors it prints nothing by default. For editors it reads the page once after loading.
