- The width and height you specify in an image tag should be the same as the source image. If you want to resize an image in the browser, use the CSS width and height properties. (read more)
- Consider using descriptive words or phrases (e.g. 'News', 'September 2012 financial results') in your anchor text to benefit search engine optimisation. (read more)

Images8.0
100% of images have a clearly defined size
41 images are being resized by the browser
- All images have defined sizes using width and height attributes in the HTML. These attributes are optional, but strongly recommended as they help the browser arrange the page more quickly.
- 41 images are being stretched in the browser.
- The width and height you specify in an image tag should be the same as the source image. If you want to resize an image in the browser, use the CSS width and height properties.
Stretched Images
- The width and height you specify in an image tag should be the same as the source image. If you want to resize an image in the browser, use the CSS width and height properties.
Internal links9.9
- One link is weakly described. Common weak links include 'click here' and 'read more'. These links fail to describe the content the link points to.
- Consider using descriptive words or phrases (e.g. 'News', 'September 2012 financial results') in your anchor text to benefit search engine optimisation.
- One link uses text that is too long. Links should describe what they link to briefly. Linking a long block of text usually indicates an attempt to trick search engines into ranking those keywords highly (a strategy which does not work). Long linked blocks of text are also harder for people to scan.
- Consider shortening long anchor text.
Overly long link text
Link URL Link text Page URL www.pcmag.com/news/the-10-worst-things-about-windows-11 The 10 Worst Things About Windows 11 We like the clean design and improved performance of Microsoft's latest operating system, but it still suffers from its fair share of issues. Here's what people gripe about the most. By Michael Muchmore www.pcmag.com/
- Consider shortening long anchor text.
- 17 links have no text describing their destination. Links on a page should describe their destination for the benefit of both screen readers and search engine spiders.
- Add meaningful anchor text that describes the link's destination. If the link contains an image, ensure you have provided alt text.
Empty link text
- Add meaningful anchor text that describes the link's destination. If the link contains an image, ensure you have provided alt text.
