Images
Images affect SEO across multiple dimensions simultaneously: broken images damage user experience and crawl quality; missing alt text makes images invisible to search engines and screen readers; oversized files slow page load and hurt Core Web Vitals; and legacy formats waste bandwidth that modern alternatives would save.
These checks cover every image quality and performance dimension the platform audits — from the basic presence of alt text through pixel-level dimension optimization.
Select a topic below to see what the platform checks and how to resolve each image issue.
Broken Images
Images returning 4xx errors — displayed as broken icons for users and noted as missing resources by crawlers.
View 1 checks →Alt Text
Missing alt attributes, empty alt text on content images, and alt text exceeding 100 characters.
View 3 checks →File Optimization
Oversized image file sizes that slow page load and images missing width/height attributes that cause layout shift.
View 2 checks →Dimensions
Images served at intrinsic dimensions much larger than their display size — excess pixels wasting bandwidth.
View 1 checks →Format
Images using JPEG, PNG, or GIF where WebP or AVIF would offer better compression at equivalent quality.
