Oversized image

How to fix it

Serve right-sized variants via srcset, compress losslessly, and prefer modern formats (AVIF / WebP).

Sibling checks in this category

• Missing alt text - An image has no alt attribute. Screen readers and image search cannot describe it.
• Broken image - The image URL returns an error. Users see a placeholder, search engines drop it from image results.
• Image URL redirects - The image src redirects, costing an extra round-trip on every load.
• Missing image dimensions - The image has no width / height attributes, which causes layout shift (bad CLS).
