Images & resources

An image loaded — but can the customer see it?

Why responsive images, lazy loading and the rendered page need to be evaluated together.

A page source may contain several image candidates while the browser ultimately chooses only one. A discovered URL alone does not prove which product image a customer actually receives.

Why this happens

Responsive sources, lazy loading and theme scripts can create contradictory signals. StoreVigil correlates network evidence with the rendered element before classifying a visible problem.

What StoreVigil can observe

For suitable findings, Visual Evidence marks the concrete image directly in page context. This turns an abstract resource message into an element a merchant can immediately locate.

What merchants can do

After correcting the source, theme output or alternative text, a recheck can show whether the same element now loads and is described correctly.
