Image Requirements
Your image must be JPEG, PNG, or WEBP format and no larger than 10MB. Using images that are too large in file size will slow down your website and affect how quickly it loads for your customers.
What is Alt Text and Why Does it Matter
Alt Text is a short written description of what is in the image. It is important for two reasons. First it helps Google understand what your images are about which improves your visibility in search results. Second it improves accessibility for people using screen readers. Always fill in the Alt Text field every time you upload an image.
