Need to optimize the images of your website and improve its SEO ?
Did you know that the SEO natural to your WordPress blog also involves optimizing all the images you add to your articles? Did you know that many visitors find blogs by the names of their images?
Well, you should take this aspect seriously. Optimizing your images can improve your Google SEO and allow you to drive traffic with Google Images.

However, I admit that even for me, it is painful to always rename the images every time. I managed to find a solution that avoids so much hassle, it is the plugin " Clean Image Filenames »Available on WordPress.org. You can install it from the dashboard.
After activating the latter, it will be ready to use, since it does not need to be configured. I will send an image titled " müséo my hungry tiger.jpg In my media library, with the plugin Clean Image Filenames Activated.
