Audit category

Every image your pages load, weighed and checked.

Images are most of a Shopify page’s bytes and usually its slowest element. Horavo inspects every image and video reference on the crawled pages — and probes the actual files to catch what the HTML alone can’t show.

What Horavo checks

Every image and video your pages load — broken, oversized, unsized, lazy-loaded wrong, missing alt text.

  • Above-the-fold images that are lazy-loaded — including an unprioritised hero
  • Below-the-fold images loaded eagerly
  • Images served without srcset
  • Missing width and height attributes — the classic layout-shift cause
  • Alt text quality, not just presence — filenames as alt text get flagged
  • Images hosted off the Shopify CDN, with no resizing parameters
  • Images served far larger than the size they display at
  • Autoplay video with heavy preload settings
  • Broken image references
  • og:image present and correctly sized for link previews
A finding, as the board shows it

Named, rated, and ready to hand off.

Every Images & media finding carries a stable check id, the page it was found on, and a rating for impact and difficulty — so the same issue reads the same on every run, and can be fixed, verified, and closed.
