Popular questions
What usually causes image dimension and CLS warnings?
# Missing width and height attributes, responsive containers without reserved space, lazy-loaded above-the-fold images and replaced featured images are common causes of layout shift.
Does adding width and height make responsive images less flexible?
# No. The attributes give the browser an aspect ratio before the image loads. CSS can still scale the image responsively while reserving the right amount of space.
What should be checked after fixing image dimensions?
# Run PageSpeed Insights or DevTools again, verify LCP images are not lazy-loaded, and check mobile templates because CLS often appears only at narrower breakpoints.
