Images

Use the Images view to find image assets that create a poor page experience or leave useful search context unexplained. Image findings are most valuable when you review them alongside the page where the image appears. Each image row includes its usage, source-page count, and reported issue state.

Filter image findings

Select the relevant completed crawl and use the filter panel to focus on one class of problem:

• Alt text: images with missing alt text or images that already have it.
• Dimensions: images with missing dimensions or known dimensions.
• Response codes: successful, redirected, client-error, server-error, and broken image requests.
• Source and format: external assets, SVGs, and data-URI images.
• Responsive delivery: images with srcset and images missing srcset.

Use Source Pages to find every page that includes an asset. Export CSV or Excel when a shared CMS, design-system, or engineering team needs a scoped list of work.

Check the image in its page context

An image can be decorative, functional, or central to the content. Decorative images do not need descriptive alt text. Images that explain a product, article, chart, control, or result should have concise text that communicates their purpose to people using assistive technology and to search engines.

Review image URLs, alternative text, dimensions, format, response state, and the pages that use the asset. A large image is not automatically wrong, but it is worth investigating when it appears on important landing pages or contributes to a slow experience. Prefer an appropriately sized, compressed asset and avoid using the same generic alt text across unrelated images.

Fix the source, not only the audit row

Update the image in the CMS, template, or component that produced it. Then verify the public page: check that the image loads, the alt text matches what a user sees, and the responsive image variant is suitable for the layout. A new crawl confirms that Screpy can see the corrected result.

Common questions

Does every image need alt text?

No. Give meaningful images useful alt text; leave purely decorative images empty so screen readers do not announce irrelevant file names or repeated descriptions.

Should alt text contain target keywords?

Only when the keyword naturally describes the image. Alt text should explain the image, not repeat a phrase for ranking purposes.
