Questions
Image Optimization Checker FAQ
What does the Image Optimization Checker analyze?
It reviews alt attributes, intrinsic dimensions, lazy loading, async decoding, responsive source markup, duplicates, declared size, and image format hints.
Should every image have descriptive alt text?
No. Informative images need contextual alternative text, while intentionally decorative images should normally use an empty alt attribute.
Should the first image use lazy loading?
Not automatically. A prominent image may be the Largest Contentful Paint element and should usually be discovered eagerly. This checker evaluates later images as likely lazy-loading candidates.
Can this checker measure image file size?
No. Version 1 analyzes pasted markup only and cannot fetch files, measure compression, or determine rendered dimensions.
Apply the result
From finding to verified fix
Interpret the finding
Prioritize images that are large, above the fold, or missing dimensions. Not every modern-format or lazy-loading suggestion applies to every image.
Common causes to inspect
- Original assets served at display size
- Missing responsive candidates
- Dimensions or loading priority omitted by templates
Practical next steps
- Match delivered dimensions to display needs
- Add explicit dimensions and responsive sources
- Retest visual quality and loading performance
What this check cannot prove
Pasted markup cannot measure transferred bytes, decoded dimensions, visual quality, caching, or the final layout.
