QUICK ANSWERStart with the tool that matches your immediate input.
Open Alt Text Quality Checker first when its stated purpose matches the result you need now. Use Link Text Quality Checker only when it solves a separate next task.
This guide is for designers, developers, editors, and site owners. Start with Alt Text Quality Checker when your immediate task is to check common alt text quality issues and receive practical improvement guidance. Move to Link Text Quality Checker only when you also need to check common link text quality issues and receive practical improvement guidance.
The goal is not to run two tools automatically. It is to finish the first narrow task, inspect its result, and then decide whether Link Text Quality Checker solves a genuinely different next step.
Both tools sit in Accessibility Tools, but they handle different inputs or outcomes. Keeping those roles separate reduces repeated work and makes verification easier.
