Images play a crucial role in design and aesthetics of your client’s website.

If you tag your pictures with the most frequent keywords, then this will help your client to have significant traffic on your website.
If you are facing any issue in describing your image, then the image will not be relevant to your description so remember that you can give Alt image tag or description which is connected to your image.

If you try to move your website’s page, then the search engine will consider it as an empty page with no equity. The search engine uses “equity” for all shares, hyperlinks,and backlinks. So when a person clicks on the website, then it displays a “404 Page not Found error.” So you need to implement 301 redirects which tells a search engine that the page which you are moving is the same page thus it will preserve the same equity as before, and a user can view the page over and over again even when the page has become old.
