Adding alt tags to icons is highly effective for several reasons, making it a worthwhile practice for any website or application developer. Here's why:

Accessibility: Screen readers need them, users love them.
SEO: Search engines can see them, rankings go up.
User Experience: Clarity & context lead to happier users.

But remember: Keep it concise, describe function, avoid generic terms

Here are a few things you can check:

list itemMake sure your keywords are actually relevant to your content. This may seem obvious, but it's important to make sure that the keywords you're targeting are actually relevant to the content of your articles. If your keywords are too broad or not well-matched to your content, you're not likely to rank for them.
list itemUse your keywords throughout your articles. You should use your keywords throughout your articles, including in the title, meta description, headings, and body text. However, you don't want to overdo it with keyword stuffing. Google can penalize you for overuse of keywords, so make sure to use them in a natural and organic way.
list itemBuild backlinks to your articles. Backlinks are links from other websites to your website. They help to signal to Google that your website is authoritative and valuable. To build backlinks, you can reach out to other websites in your niche and ask them to link to your articles. You can also guest post on other websites or participate in online forums.
list itemPromote your articles on social media. Social media is a great way to promote your articles and reach a wider audience. Share your articles on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. You can also use social media to engage with your audience and answer their questions.

The best way to use expires headers for SEO is to set them to a reasonable value that will balance the need for caching with the need for search engines to crawl your website. A good rule of thumb is to set expires headers for static files, such as images, CSS, and JavaScript, to a long period of time, such as a year. For dynamic content, such as blog posts and product pages, you can set expires headers to a shorter period of time, such as a week or a month.

No, Expires headers are not detrimental to SEO health. In fact, they can improve your SEO health by increasing your website's loading speed. When a browser loads a web page, it checks the Expires header for each resource on the page to see if it has a cached copy.

If it does, the browser will use the cached copy instead of downloading the resource from the server. This can save a significant amount of time, especially for visitors who are returning to your website.
