Save settings 6. Visit **Image SEO Dashboard** to start optimizing ## FAQ ### What is the best AI model for image SEO optimization? Each AI provider offers different strengths for image SEO: * **Google Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite** – Best value for bulk image alt text generation( ~$0.075 per 1,000 images) * **OpenAI GPT-4.1 mini** – Great quality/cost balance for image metadata (~$0.60 per 1,000 images) * **Claude 4.5 Haiku** – Fast and affordable image analysis (~$0.80 per 1,000 images) We recommend **Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite** for most WordPress sites. All models use advanced vision AI to analyze your images and generate SEO-optimized alt text, titles, and filenames. ### How much does AI image SEO optimization cost? You pay the AI providers directly using your own API keys. Approximate costs per 1,000 images: * **Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite**: ~$0.075 (most affordable) * **GPT-4.1 mini**: ~$0.60 (great value) * **Claude 4.5 Haiku**: ~$0.80 (fast and affordable) Most WordPress sites use **less than $1-2 per month** for regular image SEO optimization. The plugin itself is free — you only pay for the AI API usage. ### Does AI image optimization affect WordPress site speed? No. AI image SEO optimization runs entirely in the WordPress admin area and has zero impact on your frontend page load speed: * All AI processing happens in the admin dashboard, not on public pages * The only frontend component is the 301 redirect handler for renamed images — it adds zero overhead to normal page loads * Efficient caching minimizes database queries * API calls use smart rate limiting and run asynchronously ### How does AI image filename optimization work in WordPress? When you optimize an image filename with AI, the plugin: * Generates an SEO-friendly filename based on image content and your keywords * Renames the physical file on your server * Updates all database references and page builder content (Gutenberg, Elementor, WPBakery, Uncode) automatically * Creates automatic 301 redirects from old URLs to preserve your SEO rankings * Covers all image sizes (thumbnails, medium, large, etc.) * Tracks all changes in the optimization changelog ### Does renaming images create automatic 301 redirects for SEO? Yes. Every time an image is renamed (manually or via AI optimization), the plugin automatically creates 301 permanent redirects from old URLs to new URLs. This preserves your search engine rankings, keeps social media shares working, and prevents broken images on external sites. Redirects are served early in the WordPress load for optimal performance. The redirect requires your server to pass requests for missing files through to WordPress — standard Apache and nginx configurations do, but some static-asset rules and CDN setups answer old URLs themselves. The plugin tests this for you and warns you when redirects cannot reach visitors (Redirects screen and Site Health). You can configure expiry( 6, 12, or 24 months) and monitor all active redirects from a dedicated management page. ### Does AI image SEO work with Elementor, Gutenberg and WPBakery? Yes! Full page builder support is included: * **Gutenberg** (WordPress Block Editor) – Complete integration * **Elementor** – Full support for all image widgets * **WPBakery** – Seamless integration * **Visual Composer** – Full compatibility * **Uncode** – Full compatibility * **Divi** – Full support across page content, Divi Library, and Theme Builder When you rename an image file, all references in page builder content are updated automatically. Developers can register additional page builders via the `infyp_register_pagebuilder_adapters` hook. ### Is my data secure when using AI for image optimization? Yes. Your image data and API keys are completely secure: * API keys are encrypted using WordPress security salts (PBKDF2) * Images are sent only to your chosen AI provider (Anthropic, Google or OpenAI), and never to InfyPress * Nothing is collected by default. There is no analytics and no background tracking * One optional opt-in exists: if you tick the newsletter box in the setup wizard, site environment data and your account email are sent to InfyPress. It is off unless you tick it, and the full field list is in the Privacy section below * Open source code, fully auditable ### Can I customize AI prompts for image alt text generation? Yes! Custom AI prompts let you control how alt text, titles, and filenames are generated: * “Focus on product features and benefits” * “Include brand name ‘YourBrand’ where relevant” * “Target keywords: keyword1, keyword2” * “Use friendly, conversational tone” You can set a global prompt for all images or use per-image custom prompts with auto-generated page context for smarter, more relevant AI output. ### How accurate is AI-generated alt text and image metadata? AI-generated alt text and image metadata is highly accurate thanks to advanced vision models: * AI models actually “see” and analyze your image content — objects, scenes, colors, text * Generates natural, human-like descriptions optimized for both SEO and accessibility * Includes your target keywords naturally without keyword stuffing * More consistent than manual alt text writing across large media libraries * You can always review and edit AI suggestions before saving ### Which image formats are supported for AI SEO optimization? All standard WordPress image formats are supported: * **JPEG/JPG** – Full AI analysis and metadata optimization * **PNG** – Full AI analysis and metadata optimization * **WebP** – Full AI analysis and metadata optimization * **GIF** – Full AI analysis and metadata optimization * **SVG** – Metadata optimization only (no visual AI analysis) ### How does the image SEO scoring algorithm work? The image SEO scoring algorithm evaluates 7 components (100 points total): * **Alt Text Presence** (20 pts) – Descriptive, accessibility-compliant alt text exists * **Alt Text Quality** (15 pts) – Optimal length (50-125 chars) and keyword inclusion * **Title Presence** (15 pts) – Meaningful image title exists * **Title Quality** (10 pts) – Optimized length and keyword usage * **Filename Quality** (15 pts) – SEO-friendly, descriptive filenames * **Keyword Placement** (15 pts) – Relevant keywords placed across all fields * **Content Uniqueness** (10 pts) – Distinct metadata across fields (no duplication) Scores update in real-time as you optimize. Length values slightly outside the optimal ranges still earn full points within a configurable tolerance. You can customize scoring weights, ranges, and tolerance in Settings. ### Does AI image SEO work with WooCommerce product images? Yes! The plugin fully supports WooCommerce and all Custom Post Types. AI image SEO optimization works with: * WooCommerce product images and gallery images * Any Custom Post Type registered in WordPress * Featured images, in-content images, and page builder images Use custom AI prompts to focus on product-specific keywords like brand names, features, and categories for better e-commerce image SEO. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/cced4b177779deb7c0810d4ca3cc0f3eb537a8c7c127e043332920a8e0ce39ec? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Easy use and incredible results](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/easy-use-and-incredible-results/)󠁿 [quermarketing](https://profiles.wordpress.org/quermarketing/) May 12, 2026 1 reply Greets from Germany. I am a total beginner in SEO, and that is exactly why this plugin really convinced me very fast. After only a few clicks, everything was set up and the rest worked almost by itself. That is exactly what I want from a good tool: easy, clear, and usable without deep knowledge. What I liked very much was that the results were much better than my own tries. The automatically created alt texts, file names, and titles look not only clean, but also useful and professional. You can see that this plugin solves a real problem and is not just adding some random feature. I was allowed to test the plugin and use it directly in a Gutenberg style website. The results became really great and I was honestly very happy with it. For me, this plugin is a big help because it saves a lot of time and makes the quality better at the same time. a very strong agent, especially for people without much knowledge. Easy to use, fast in results, and from my side a clear recommendation. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/3236f1bfc6cfaf358cc06dd28189cdfc4d6d8b2b4473822eab853e556935fe09? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Awesome Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-plugin-7502/)󠁿 [hermie123](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hermie123/) May 8, 2026 1 reply I'm not a developer and I was nervous about renaming image files on my live site. Infy made the whole process painless — alt text, filenames, and titles updated cleanly, and nothing broke. The dashboard shows exactly what's been optimized and what still needs work. Couldn't be happier.

The image list only knew about featured images and images uploaded from within a post, so filtering by Posts showed a handful of images and filtering by a custom post type often showed none at all. Images embedded in blocks, the classic editor and galleries are now indexed and appear under the post type that uses them. * Fixed: adding or removing an image in a post, or changing a featured image, now updates the filters immediately — no manual index rebuild needed. * Changed: the Media filter now lists your entire media library. It previously showed only images that were not attached to a post and not used as a featured image. * Added: the post/page picker and the “used on” filter are now driven by a real usage index, so posts whose images are only embedded in content are listed too. * Changed: the hourly optimization limit is raised from 100 to 500 per user, and can now be changed — or switched off entirely — with the new `infyp_rate_limits` filter. It applies to the admin “Optimize with AI” button and the REST optimize routes alike. #### 1.0.7 – 2026-08-14 * Changed: plugin renamed to “Infy SEO – Image SEO Optimizer”. The admin menu now reads “Image SEO” and the dashboard “Image SEO Optimizer”. Nothing else changes: same plugin, same settings, same data, same hooks and REST routes. * Added: redirect delivery check — the plugin now tests whether your server actually lets old image URLs reach its 301 redirects (some server configurations answer missing files themselves). Result on the Redirects page with a “Test redirects now” button, a Site Health test, and a clear warning on plugin screens when redirects cannot reach visitors. The check runs weekly, after the first rename, and whenever your server software changes. #### 1.0.6 – 2026-08-05 * Added: REST API (`infyp/v1`) — list images, read SEO data, run full or single- field optimizations, and read/change generation settings and scoring configuration programmatically (Application Password auth). Other plugins can register routes, extend responses and influence generation. * Added: REST API admin screen with usage counters, a 30-day activity chart, and a filterable log of every programmatic optimization. * Added: WordPress AI Connectors support (WordPress 7.0+) — use the AI connectors from Settings Connectors as connection method, no plugin API key required. Existing API-key setups keep working unchanged. * Added: connector-aware safeguards — a live notice when the selected model has no matching connector, usage logs record the model that actually served each request, and token limits are no longer applied under connectors (they could truncate substituted models into failures). * Added: completely redesigned setup wizard — a guided, conversational flow with animated steps, accessible progress rail, dark-mode switcher, and isolation from theme CSS so themes can’t break its layout. * Added: length tolerance (“play room”) for alt text, title and filename — values slightly outside the optimal range (±1 word, ±15% characters by default, configurable per field) keep the green badge and full SEO score instead of nagging “Too long”. Set to 0 for strict checking. * Added: Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite model; model dropdowns now list newest models last within each provider. * Changed: API keys are no longer format-checked on save (providers change key formats) — verification is now a real zero-cost test call, with a Test Key button on the API Keys page and in the wizard. * Improved: API Usage and REST API tables are fully responsive — labeled cards on phones, contained scrolling on larger screens. * Fixed: fresh installs on non-English sites generated English metadata until the language setting was re-saved; generation now follows the site language from the start. * Fixed: “Too long” badges were red in some fields and yellow in others, and table badges could keep a stale style after saving in an edit modal — length issues are now consistently yellow warnings everywhere. * Fixed: the dashboard “Total Images” card under-reported optimized images whenever the average score dipped below 100%. * Changed: minimum requirements are now WordPress 6.1 and PHP 8.0, matching APIs and language features the plugin already used. #### 1.0.5 – 2026-05-16 * Fixed: a fatal error (“class not found”) on sites that updated to 1.0.4 — the new Divi adapter class file was not included in the 1.0.4 package. 1.0.5 ships the complete file set with a regenerated autoloader. If you are on 1.0.4, update to 1.0.5 to restore your site. #### 1.0.4 – 2026-05-16 * Added: Divi Builder support — image filenames are now safely renamed across Divi layouts (page content, Divi Library, and Theme Builder templates), with all image URL references updated automatically and Divi’s static CSS cache cleared * Fixed: the Optimization Changelog admin page no longer triggers a fatal error( a build-packaging issue had excluded a required template file from the release) #### 1.0.3 – 2026-05-04 * Fixed “Too short / Too long” status text in alt text and title field editors that incorrectly showed “Too short” when the value was actually too long (chars in range but words over the maximum) * Fixed counter badge spacing in all field-edit modals — the status, character- count, and word-count indicators now render in a clean horizontal 33/33/33 layout( stacks vertically on phone-size screens) * Fixed pagination button spacing on the Redirects admin page that disappeared a few seconds after page load * Added: filename editor now auto-replaces spaces with hyphens, auto-lowercases, and collapses consecutive hyphens as you type — and trims leading/trailing hyphens when you save * Added: “Auto-link characters and words” toggle in SEO Score settings (default on) so editing one threshold (chars or words, min or max) automatically updates the linked counterpart proportionally — chars and words can no longer drift into inconsistent ranges * Brand badges in the post-type filter (WordPress / Woo / CPT) now stay in English in all locales since they’re recognized terms across the WordPress ecosystem * Internal: existing installs now correctly inherit any new threshold defaults added in future plugin updates (fixes a shallow-merge bug that would silently drop newly-added defaults until users re-saved settings) #### 1.0.2 – 2026-04-25 * Fixed a timeout error specific to Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite by disabling unnecessary“ Reasoning” mode for SEO tasks * Improved API payload efficiency by systematically falling back to smaller image sizes to strictly enforce the 1MB limit * Optimized API token limits for Gemini to improve response times and prevent runaway generation * Simplified Google tier to the fast Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite model (transparent backward compatibility for existing users) #### 1.0.1 – 2026-04-24 * Added post-type badges (WordPress / Woo / Custom) in the image list filter dropdown * Large images (>1MB) now use the WordPress ‘large’ intermediate size for AI calls, dramatically reducing upload time and failures * Raised AI request timeout floor to 60 seconds to prevent cURL 28 timeouts on slow networks and cold starts * Updated screenshots for the WordPress.org listing to reflect current free-plugin UI #### 1.0.0 – 2026-04-17 * Initial public release * AI-powered metadata generation (filenames, alt text, titles, keywords) * Support for 3 AI providers (Google Gemini 3 Flash, Anthropic Claude 4.5 Haiku, OpenAI GPT-4.1 mini) * Page builder integration (Gutenberg, Elementor, Uncode, WPBakery) * WooCommerce & Custom Post Type support * Automatic filename updates with URL tracking * Automatic 301 redirects for renamed images * SEO score calculation with 6-component algorithm * Usage tracking and analytics dashboard * Changelog for audit trail * 60+ language support ##
