Large or poorly optimized images can slow down websites, while properly optimized visuals improve performance, accessibility, and search visibility.

This guide explains how to optimize images effectively in Framer.

Why Image SEO Matters

Image optimization improves:

• Website speed

• Mobile performance

• Accessibility

• Search visibility

• User experience

Search engines also use image information to better understand page content.

Compressing Images

Large image files can slow down websites significantly.

Before uploading images:

• Compress oversized files

• Resize unnecessary dimensions

• Use optimized formats

• Avoid extremely large assets

Smaller image sizes improve loading speed and SEO performance.

Using Descriptive Filenames

Image filenames should describe the image clearly.

Good example:
framer-dashboard-design.jpg

Poor example:
IMG_4832.jpg

Descriptive filenames help search engines understand image content more effectively.

Adding Alt Text

Alt text describes images for search engines and screen readers.

Good alt text should:

• Describe the image naturally

• Remain concise

• Improve accessibility

• Avoid keyword stuffing

Example:

Responsive images improve usability and mobile SEO.

Avoiding Common Image SEO Problems

Common issues include:

• Oversized image files

• Missing alt text

• Blurry responsive scaling

• Decorative images without optimization

• Too many heavy visuals

Balanced optimization improves both speed and design quality.
