Ask a Question

Good morning, I have not seen a way to put an "alt" text on the icons, as it is in the case of the icons of social networks or sliders and this is penalized by google. Please tell me how to make these icons have "alt" text

Hi Fernando,

Icons are added using the SVG element and not the image tag so they do not require alt text.

Well I think that is not correct.

If what you say is correct why google penalize it? And why this link say it mut have?

Hi,

The article says that it is recommended to include a title (not alt attribute) when svg icon has an image role. We do not have role attribute in our SVG icons.

if you read the first line:

"An element with an image or graphics role must have alternative text."

The way it's done is different than the alt attribute, but don't invalidade what as to be done.

how hard is to put a field so we can add the title and internal nicepage creates an element with that text associated with the svg?
