For image spinners, what would a good alt text be? All the seo tools are penalising us for missing alt tags but im not sure what would be best to put there, is "spinner" or "loading" best?

Hi jpcs,

Sounds like you are using lazy loading for your images and feeling the negative effects on your SEO efforts, right?

Lazy loading of images is done via Javescript and will improve page load times. However, if lazy loading is not implemented properly it can have a negative impact on SEO.

Here are a few articles that may help you identify your particular issue and find the proper solution:
