Images 79/100

✓

All 23 images have an alt attribute

23 images lack width/height attributes

Missing dimensions cause layout shift (CLS), a Core Web Vitals metric.

Set width and height attributes on <img> tags.

!

No images are lazy-loaded

Lazy-loading below-the-fold images speeds up the initial load.

Add loading="lazy" to images below the fold (not the main hero image).

21 JPG/PNG/GIF images found. Modern formats are 25–50% smaller.

Serve WebP or AVIF versions (most image/cache plugins or CDNs do this automatically).
