Faster, more accessible images

Images are usually the heaviest part of a page and a big source of Google Images traffic. Enter a URL and the checker lists every <img> with its alt text, file size, format, declared width and height and lazy-loading status, with a thumbnail so you know which image is which.

Problems are flagged per image: missing or empty alt attributes, files over 200 KB, JPEG or PNG files that could be converted to WebP or AVIF, missing dimensions that cause layout shift, and broken image URLs. A summary shows alt-text coverage and the total size of the page's images.

Frequently asked questions

Does alt text help SEO?

Yes. It's how search engines understand images, and it helps images rank in Google Images. It's also essential for accessibility.

When should alt text be empty?

For purely decorative images, an empty alt (alt="") tells screen readers to skip them. Every meaningful image needs a description.

How big should web images be?

Most content images can be under 100–200 KB. Hero images may be larger, but compress them and serve modern formats.
