Quick summary

Steps

  1. In the WordPress block editor, click the image you want to optimize.
  2. Open the right sidebar and navigate to the Block tab, then enter descriptive alternative text into the provided text field.
  3. Scroll down in the sidebar and adjust the image size settings to your preferred dimensions.

📌 Why this matters

Optimizing images in WordPress is essential for improving site performance, search engine rankings, and accessibility. Properly configured alt text helps search engines index your visual content, while resizing images reduces page load times and improves Core Web Vitals scores. WordPress's built-in block editor makes it straightforward to manage image SEO settings, styles, and dimensions without third-party plugins. Mastering these image optimization steps directly impacts your site's visibility, user experience, and overall search performance.
