Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Audit, quality score, bulk editing, media library badges: every current feature is free, with no credits, no subscription and no account. The plugin is on the official WordPress.org repository under GPL v2.

No. The optional generation drafts a text from the file name, only for images with no alt, and it runs locally. No image is sent to any external service and you approve every suggestion before it is saved.

Yes. Filikod manages alt text in the WordPress media library, independently of your theme or page builder. Multisite is supported too.

Yes. Filikod scans your entire existing media library, including images uploaded before the plugin was installed.

With published, deterministic rules: missing 0, generic 20, too short 40, duplicate 60, too long 70, correct 95 to 100. The page score is the simple average, decorative images excluded. The methodology page details every rule.

No. The alt text features only edit WordPress metadata, never your files. Only the optional automatic resizing, off by default, replaces the original file.

One public URL at a time: it reads the HTML, extracts every img tag, evaluates each alt attribute and returns a score with a breakdown by issue. Try it on the free checker.

The checker stores the audited URL, the date and the scores. It never stores your IP address (a non-reversible one-hour counter handles rate limiting) and never any image.

Yes, that is the core of the plugin: filter your media library by issue type and edit alt text inline, at scale. The bulk editing guide shows how.

Yoast and RankMath flag posts whose featured image lacks alt text. They do not audit your existing media library, do not score alt text quality and do not fix issues in bulk. Filikod does exactly those three things.

Generators write new alt text through a paid AI API your images are sent to. Filikod audits and scores what already exists, then lets you fix it in bulk for free, with nothing sent anywhere. The plugin comparison goes deeper.
