Issue: Broken internal images don’t display properly, creating a poor user experience and signaling low quality to search engines, which can hurt your rankings.
Fix: Check for any broken images and either update the URL, replace missing or damaged images, or remove unneeded ones from your code.
Recommendations:
- Check URLs: Ensure each image URL is correctly spelled and points to the right location.
- Replace or Restore Missing Images: For any missing or damaged images, upload a replacement or remove the image reference if it’s no longer needed.
- Use Alt Text: Add descriptive
alttext to each image; it provides context to search engines and helps with accessibility. - Run Image Checks Regularly: Periodically audit your site to catch any new broken images as you update or reorganize your content.
Tip: Fixing broken images improves user experience and maintains your page quality in the eyes of search engines.
