Broken images

What are Broken Images?

Broken images occur when an image on your webshop fails to load or display to the visitor. This can happen for various reasons, such as the image file being deleted, moved without updating the link, or issues with the server hosting the image. Instead of seeing the intended picture, your customers might see a placeholder or an error message, which can detract from their browsing experience.

Why Broken Images Are Bad for Your Webshop

  1. User Experience: Images are a vital part of the online shopping experience. They help customers see what they are buying, understand product features, and navigate your site. Broken images can lead to confusion, reduce the attractiveness of your products, and may cause potential customers to leave your site in favor of a competitor.
  2. Professionalism and Brand Image: High-quality, well-maintained websites reflect positively on your brand. Broken images, however, suggest neglect and can damage your webshop's professionalism and credibility.
  3. SEO Consequences: Search engines use crawlers that consider the overall quality and user experience of your site. Broken images can negatively impact these factors, potentially lowering your site's ranking in search results. This can decrease your visibility to potential customers.
