Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

ALTification uses AI to generate keyword-aware alt text, captions, and descriptions for your images — directly from your SEO plugin’s focus keyphrase and page context.

Features:

  • Bulk generate alt text across your entire site with the Site Scan
  • Page-level generation with keyword context from Yoast SEO, Rank Math, AIOSEO, SEOPress, and The SEO Framework
  • Generate captions and descriptions alongside alt text
  • Media Library column showing SEO health badges for every image
  • Post editor metabox for inline generation
  • Detect and fix SEO gaps where alt text doesn’t reflect the page keyword
  • Mark decorative images to suppress alt text (WCAG compliant)
  • Supports WooCommerce products, ACF image fields and shared images
  • Before & After report for agency workflows

ALTification connects to the ALTification platform API to generate content. An API key is required.

External Services

This plugin sends data to the ALTification API and Anthropic (Claude) when you trigger a generation, scan, or credit check — never automatically in the background.

ALTification API

ai/wp-json/altification/v1/

When you generate, the plugin sends:

  • Your image (as a URL or base64-encoded data)
  • The page’s SEO context (focus keyword, meta title, meta description, where available from your SEO plugin)
  • Your site’s context (site name, language, WooCommerce product/category data if relevant, a short excerpt of your homepage text, ACF field content if you have configured ACF support)
  • A non-identifying site fingerprint (an MD5 hash of WordPress’s COOKIEHASH and site URL, used to lock your API key to one site)
  • Your ALTification API key

The API returns the generated text, your remaining credit balance and your account status.

ALTification does not store the image after the response is returned.

Anthropic (Claude)

ALTification’s server uses Anthropic’s Claude API to produce generated text. The plugin does not call Anthropic directly — no Anthropic account or key is needed.
