Follow these steps to enable Web snippet on your website:
Create a new web snippet
- Go to AltTextLab Web Snippets page.
- Click ”Create web snippet”.
- In the modal window, enter your website domain.
- Select the basic settings:
- Writing style – e.g., neutral or minimal.
- Language – the default language for generated alt text.
- Click Create.
Add the embed code to your site
- After creating the snippet, copy the generated code.
- Paste it into your website, preferably before the closing
</head>tag.
Once the code is installed, Web snippets will begin scanning your site for images without alt text.
Test that Web snippet is working
- On the first page load with a new image, Web snippet sends the image URL for analysis and alt text generation.
At this moment, you won’t see the alt text yet, but you can confirm that a generation request was made. - Once the alt text has been generated and stored in the CDN, it will appear on all subsequent visits.
To verify this, simply reload the same page after a short while. You should see alt text automatically added to images that were previously missing it.
In addition, all processed images will appear in your AltTextLab dashboard.
