  Imagesmedium

  29 image(s).

  12 without width/height – can cause layout shift (CLS).

  Fix: Give every image width and height, lazy-load images below the fold (but not the main image) and serve WebP/AVIF.

  On WordPress: Install a free image optimiser plugin (such as EWWW Image Optimizer or Smush) to shrink images and serve WebP.
