This is a medium priority SEO tip.

This search engine optimization tip is important for your website for the following reasons:

It's not a secret that people use to click on images more than regular links. That's why all the images in your pages should have links.

Search engines will value the linked content. There should be alt attributes on your images, which tell search engines what those images represent. The "alt" attribute should be descriptive for both the image and the linked content.

For example, if you have a shopping cart, all of your product images inside a category should be linked to the "details" pages. It's a bigger chance that people click on an image of a product than a link that says "more details". The product image inside a details page may link to it's category or to a search result page with similar products.

Search engine likes linked content inside a website and placing links on images is a good and natural way to do it..
