Media assignment and thumbnail edition
Compare well-maintained media information with the specific Storefront output. An individual experience world element can leave the intended values unused.
Compare the original media with the preview images used in the storefront. Decisive is the really requested thumbnail URL in the respective layout, not only the file stored in the backend.
Where to check the setting in Shopware
Compare the media assignment of the product with the alt data and the actually selected thumbnail file. A large original is not automatically a problem if the theme loads a suitable small variant; the file requested in the browser is decisive.
Example of this specific finding
Illustrative control case: An image explains the connection of a device but does not have an alt attribute. A purely decorative background wave, on the other hand, does not contain any additional information.
<img src="anschluss.webp" alt="Netzkabel am linken Anschluss einstecken">
<img src="dekorative-welle.svg" alt="">
follow-up audit in Shopware
Check a product image in listing, detail view and on mobile devices. After changes, also consider existing image variants and their cache.
Provide a concise suitable alternative for the informative image. Decorative img elements with empty old; take into account the link function for linked images.
Derogations and scope
An empty old is intended for decorative pictures and may not be corrected as missing content.
