A couple of small details make your pages easier to use and easier for search engines to understand. Neither takes much effort, and both add up over time. Breadcrumbs are the small trail of links near the top of a page that shows where a visitor is, like:
Each step is a link, so visitors can jump back up a level at any time — from a product back to its category, for example. The name comes from the trail of crumbs in the Hansel and Gretel story. Breadcrumbs help in two ways:
  • For visitors — they always know where they are and can move around easily.
  • For search engines — they show how your pages connect, which helps search engines understand and rank your site, and can show the trail in search results.
To add breadcrumbs, place the breadcrumbs block on your page or template in the Builder (البلدر). It builds the trail automatically based on where the page sits in your site, so you don’t maintain it by hand.
Breadcrumbs work best on sites with clear sections — like a store with categories. Add them to your product and category templates so every product page gets a trail automatically.

Image alt text

Alt text is a short description of an image — a phrase like “vanilla soy candle in a glass jar”. It does two important jobs:
  • It tells search engines what the picture shows, so your images can appear in image search.
  • It’s read aloud to visitors who use screen readers, making your site usable for everyone.
If you ever forget to add alt text, Glowply automatically fills in a fallback based on the image’s file name, so no image is left completely undescribed. But a fallback from a file name is rarely as good as a real description — so it’s worth writing your own on important images.

Select an image

3

Write the alt text

In the alt text field, write a short, plain description of what’s in the picture. Describe it naturally — don’t just list keywords.
Describe the image as if you were telling someone who can’t see it. For a product, include the product name. Keep it to a short phrase, not a full sentence.
