Filikod – ALT Text Audit & Bulk Management

描述

Most WordPress sites have broken ALT text, and most site owners have no way to measure it.

Missing, generic, duplicated or too-short ALT text quietly hurts your accessibility score and your image SEO. The problem stays invisible until it is too late.

Filikod scans your entire media library, gives you an ALT Quality Score from 0 to 100%, and gives you the tools to fix everything in bulk, directly inside WordPress.

No AI black box. No external API. No credits to buy. No complex setup.
You write the ALT text. You stay in control.

ALT Text Audit and Quality Score

Filikod scans your entire media library and instantly flags:

  • Missing ALT: images with no ALT attribute at all
  • Generic ALT: meaningless values like “image”, “photo”, “logo”, “thumbnail”, “untitled”
  • Too Short ALT: descriptions too brief to be useful for accessibility or SEO
  • Duplicated ALT: the same ALT text reused across multiple images

You get a clear ALT Quality Score from 0 to 100% plus a breakdown by issue type, so you always know exactly what to fix first.

This turns ALT text from a vague, invisible problem into a measurable system you can actually improve, like a health score for your media library.

Bulk ALT Management

Editing ALT text one image at a time is the reason most people never finish.

Filikod lets you:

  • Filter images by issue type (missing, generic, short, duplicated)
  • Edit ALT text inline, directly from the audit view
  • Save instantly without leaving the page
  • Fix dozens or hundreds of images in minutes

Built for real media libraries with thousands of images, not tidy demos with five.

Native Media Library (Media > Library)

See ALT health where you already work: Filikod adds visible ALT Status indicators on Media > Library (upload.php), in both list and grid views.

  • List view: dedicated ALT Status column with stacked tag-style badges (one badge per issue, or a single green ✓ OK when everything is fine).
  • Grid view: the same badges appear as an overlay on each image thumbnail (top-left, so they do not cover the filename bar).
  • Attachment details (sidebar / modal): an ALT Status read-only row under the standard fields. It updates after you save and while you type (preview), so it stays aligned with the dashboard and the audit logic. In the modal, the label and badges stay visually aligned, and several issue badges appear on one row (wrapping only if the sidebar is narrow).

Issues shown match the audit rules: Missing, Generic, Too short, and Duplicatedmultiple badges can appear on the same image when several problems apply. The audit cache refreshes automatically when ALT text is changed anywhere in WordPress (media modal, REST, compatible plugins), so counts and badges stay consistent.

Context-Based Editing

Good ALT text requires context. What is this image actually about on this page?

Filikod shows you where each image is used (which post or page) so you can jump directly to the content and write accurate, relevant ALT text. No guesswork.

Controlled Automation (optional)

Filikod includes optional automation tools for teams who need to process large volumes:

  • Generate ALT from filename (only applied to images that have no ALT yet)
  • Remove special characters from ALT text (slashes, dashes, underscores)
  • Remove title attribute from images (reduces redundancy, improves accessibility)
  • Optional automatic image resizing (Filikod > Settings > Optimizations): when enabled, large uploads can be resized and written back to disk—this changes the image files (see FAQ below)
  • Bulk process your entire existing media library in one click

Execution order is always enforced: generate ALT from title then filename, clean special characters, then remove title. Predictable. Consistent. Always yours to control.

How Filikod Compares

Most ALT text plugins do one thing: auto-generate ALT on upload, often using AI and a paid credit system.

Filikod is an ALT audit and bulk management system. It works on your existing library, gives you a measurable quality score, and lets you fix issues at scale with full editorial control.

What only Filikod does:

  • ALT Quality Score (0 to 100%) across your entire library
  • ALT Status badges in the native Media Library (list column, grid overlay, attachment details) with live updates after save
  • Detects generic ALT values like “photo”, “image”, “logo”
  • Detects duplicated ALT text reused across multiple images
  • Detects ALT text that is too short to be useful
  • Bulk filtering by issue type (missing, generic, short, duplicated)
  • Works on images already in your media library
  • No external API, no credits, no subscription required
  • Full editorial control: you write and validate every ALT text

If you want AI to write your ALT text automatically, Filikod is not that.
If you want full visibility and control over your ALT text quality at scale, Filikod is exactly that.

Who is Filikod for?

Filikod is built for:

  • SEO professionals who want ALT text treated as a measurable ranking signal, not an afterthought
  • Accessibility-focused teams who need a structured audit to meet WCAG guidelines
  • Content managers with large media libraries who need to fix issues fast, in bulk
  • Agencies managing multiple WordPress sites who need a repeatable quality process
  • Anyone who wants control over their ALT text, without depending on AI or external services

Compatibility

  • Works with any theme
  • Compatible with Elementor, Divi, Gutenberg, WPBakery and most major page builders
  • Single site and multisite supported
  • No external services required, runs entirely inside WordPress

屏幕截图

  • Dashboard: ALT Quality Score (0–100%) with donut gauge and legend, issue counts (missing, too short, generic, duplicated), optional Media Size Savings impact, and Library Overview (total images, total size, average size). Optional automation toggles summarized on the side.
  • ALT Audit (Duplicated): Filter tabs for Missing, Generic, Too short, and Duplicated; table with thumbnail, filename, Context (where the image is used), editable ALT field, issue label, and per-row Save. Duplicated ALT grouped for fast fixes.
  • Settings — Accessibility / SEO: Toggles for automatic ALT from filename, optional title-attribute removal, and special-character cleanup; Process Existing Images for bulk apply; Save Changes.
  • Attachment details: Native media modal/sidebar with Alternative Text and Filikod ALT Status (e.g. green OK when rules pass), so you see health next to the field while you edit.
  • Media Library (grid): Thumbnails with ALT Status badges (e.g. OK on qualifying images) for a quick scan of library-wide ALT health.

常见问题

Does Filikod generate ALT text automatically?

Yes, but it is optional and filename-based, not AI. Filikod generates ALT from the image filename only for images that have no ALT text yet. Its core strength is structured ALT audit and bulk management, so you always stay in control of your content.

Does Filikod use AI to write ALT text?

No. Filikod does not use AI or any external API. ALT generation is based on the filename. This is intentional: AI-generated ALT text can be inaccurate, generic, or brand-inconsistent. Filikod gives you visibility and tools to write accurate ALT yourself, or to review and correct what automation produces.

How is Filikod different from Image Attributes Pro or BIALTY?

Image Attributes Pro and similar filename-based plugins set ALT text automatically from the filename. They do not audit your existing library, detect generic or duplicated ALT, or give you a quality score. Filikod gives you a structured audit across your entire media library and the tools to fix issues in bulk, including images uploaded before you installed the plugin.

Does it work on images already in my media library?

Yes. Filikod scans and processes your entire existing media library, including images uploaded before installation. You can run a bulk process from the Settings page at any time.

Does Filikod modify my image files?

By default, no. Filikod’s core ALT audit and bulk editing only change the _wp_attachment_image_alt meta in WordPress (no changes to binary image files).

If you turn on Automatic Image Resizing under Filikod > Settings > Optimizations, Filikod can modify image files on disk (resize and replace the stored file for large uploads, and optionally bulk-resize existing images). Keep this option off if you must preserve originals unchanged. Always back up your site before running bulk resize.

What is the ALT Quality Score?

It is a score from 0 to 100% that reflects the overall ALT text health of your media library. It takes into account the proportion of images with missing, generic, too-short, and duplicated ALT attributes. It gives you a single measurable number you can track and improve over time, like an SEO or accessibility health metric.

Can I bulk edit ALT text?

Yes. The ALT Audit page lets you filter images by issue type (missing, generic, short, duplicated) and edit ALT text inline. Changes save instantly without reloading the page.

Is it compatible with Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, and Gutenberg?

Yes. Filikod manages ALT attributes directly in the WordPress media library, independently from your theme or page builder. Compatibility is universal.

Does it work on multisite installations?

Yes. Filikod supports WordPress multisite.

Is Filikod an image optimizer like Smush or Imagify?

No. Filikod does not compress images, convert to WebP, or serve images via CDN. It focuses entirely on ALT text quality: the audit, the score, and the tools to fix issues at scale. You can use a dedicated image optimizer alongside Filikod without any conflict.

Where can I find documentation?

Full documentation is available at filikod.com.

更新日志

1.0.8

Native Media Library: ALT Status column in list view; badge overlay on grid thumbnails (top-left); ALT Status field in attachment details modal/sidebar
Modal UX: ALT Status label aligned with badges; multiple issue badges on one horizontal row in attachment details (list column still stacks badges for readability)
Live updates: status refreshes after saving ALT text (AJAX save handlers) and while typing (server-side preview); dashboard and audit cache stay in sync when _wp_attachment_image_alt changes
Multi-issue badges: an image can show several tags at once (e.g. Generic + Too short + Duplicated) when multiple rules apply; single green ✓ OK when there are no issues
Reliability: audit transient cache key bumped (filikod_alt_audit_v2); normalized cache keys for object caches; attachment_fields_to_save ensures image_alt is persisted on save-attachment-compat like the classic uploader; invalidation hooks on post meta, attachment save, and related paths
Performance: cached global map of normalized ALT occurrence count (filikod_alt_norm_counts_v1); duplicate preview in the media modal avoids scanning every attachment per request; full audit rebuild reuses that index
Admin JS: shared batch runner for accessibility and resize bulk jobs (runFilikodBatchedJob)
Documentation: FAQ and feature list clarify that optional Automatic Image Resizing can modify image files on disk; default behavior remains ALT meta only
Release: smoke-tested on a live install (dashboard, ALT Audit, Media Library list/grid/modal, Settings bulk actions) before tagging 1.0.8
