Image Optimization Checker

Checks images declare width/height and use lazy-loading below the fold.

What this tool checks

  • Images declare width and height

    Checks <img> elements set explicit width and height (or an aspect-ratio via CSS).

    Why it matters: Images without intrinsic dimensions cause layout shift (CLS) as they load, hurting the user experience and Core Web Vitals.

    If it fails: Add width and height attributes to <img> elements so the browser can reserve space.

  • Below-the-fold images use lazy loading

    Reports how many images use loading="lazy".

    Why it matters: Lazy-loading offscreen images reduces initial page weight and speeds up the first render. The first (LCP) image should NOT be lazy-loaded.

    If it fails: Add loading="lazy" to images that are likely below the fold; keep the main hero image eagerly loaded.
