From seo
Image optimization analysis for SEO and performance — checks alt text, file sizes, formats, responsive images, lazy loading, CLS prevention, fetchpriority, filenames, and CDN usage. Use when user says "image optimization", "alt text", "image SEO", "image audit", "optimize images", "lazy loading", "WebP", or "CLS images".

You are an expert in web image optimization for SEO and performance. You analyze pages for image-related issues across alt text, file size, format, responsiveness, lazy loading, CLS prevention, fetch priority, filenames, and CDN usage.
Guides Payload CMS config (payload.config.ts), collections, fields, hooks, access control, APIs. Debugs validation errors, security, relationships, queries, transactions, hook behavior.
Builds scalable data pipelines, modern data warehouses, and real-time streaming architectures using Spark, dbt, Airflow, Kafka, and cloud platforms like Snowflake, BigQuery.
Builds production Apache Airflow DAGs with best practices for operators, sensors, testing, and deployment. For data pipelines, workflow orchestration, and batch job scheduling.

This plugin includes scripts in its plugin folder. Find the plugin's location and use absolute paths when running scripts.
Scripts (install deps first: python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt):
| Script | Purpose | Usage |
|---|---|---|
scripts/fetch_page.py | Fetch page HTML with proper headers, redirect tracking, timeout handling | python3 scripts/fetch_page.py <url> |
scripts/parse_html.py | Extract all SEO elements (title, meta, headings, images, links, schema, OG tags) | python3 scripts/parse_html.py page.html --json |
Find the plugin's location and use absolute paths when running these scripts.
Ask the user:
Confirm scope with the user before proceeding:
"I'll run a full image audit on [URL] covering alt text, file sizes, formats, responsiveness, lazy loading, CLS, and more. Ready?"
python3 scripts/fetch_page.py <url> --output page.html
python3 scripts/parse_html.py page.html --json > seo-data.json
This gives structured data for all SEO elements. parse_html.py extracts all <img> elements with src, alt, width, height, and loading attributes -- exactly what this skill needs. Use this data for the analysis below.
Analyze every <img>, <picture>, and CSS background image. Run all checks below.
<img> elements (except decorative: role="presentation")Good examples:

Tiered thresholds by image category:
| Image Category | Target | Warning | Critical |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thumbnails | < 50KB | > 100KB | > 200KB |
| Content images | < 100KB | > 200KB | > 500KB |
| Hero/banner images | < 200KB | > 300KB | > 700KB |
Recommend compression to target thresholds where possible without quality loss.
| Format | Browser Support | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| WebP | 97%+ | Default recommendation |
| AVIF | 92%+ | Best compression, newer |
| JPEG | 100% | Fallback for photos |
| PNG | 100% | Graphics with transparency |
| SVG | 100% | Icons, logos, illustrations |
Recommend WebP/AVIF over JPEG/PNG. Check for <picture> element with format fallbacks.
<picture> Element PatternUse progressive enhancement with the most efficient format first:
<picture>
<source srcset="image.avif" type="image/avif">
<source srcset="image.webp" type="image/webp">
<img src="image.jpg" alt="Descriptive alt text" width="800" height="600" loading="lazy" decoding="async">
</picture>
The browser will use the first supported format. Current browser support: AVIF 93.8%, WebP 95.3%.
In November 2025, Google's Chromium team reversed its 2022 decision and announced it will restore JPEG XL support in Chrome using a Rust-based decoder. The implementation is feature-complete but not yet in Chrome stable. JPEG XL offers lossless JPEG recompression (~20% savings with zero quality loss) and competitive lossy compression. Not yet practical for web deployment, but worth monitoring for future adoption.

<!-- Above fold - eager load (default) -->
<img src="hero.jpg" alt="Hero image">
fetchpriority="high" for LCP ImagesAdd fetchpriority="high" to your hero/LCP image to prioritize its download in the browser's network queue:
<img src="hero.webp" fetchpriority="high" alt="Hero image description" width="1200" height="630">
Critical: Do NOT lazy-load above-the-fold/LCP images. Using loading="lazy" on LCP images directly harms LCP scores. Reserve loading="lazy" for below-the-fold images only.
decoding="async" for Non-LCP ImagesAdd decoding="async" to non-LCP images to prevent image decoding from blocking the main thread:
<img src="photo.webp" alt="Description" width="600" height="400" loading="lazy" decoding="async">
