Page has broken image

A broken image leaves an empty box where visual content should be, hurting perception and accessibility.

What it is

This check flags <img> elements whose src returns an error such as 404.

Why it matters for SEO

Broken images degrade user experience and remove image-search opportunities; repeated 404s waste crawl budget.

Example

<img src='/img/produit.jpg' alt='Produit'>   ->  404 Not Found

How to fix

1. Restore the missing file or update the src path.
2. Check case-sensitivity and folder moves in your asset pipeline.
3. Add descriptive alt text while editing the tag.
4. Re-crawl to confirm all images load.
