A browser image audit helps you see what a real page is doing, not just what a CMS says it created.
What to check first
Start with visible image issues: missing alt text, oversized files, missing width and height attributes, hero images that are too large and formats that could be delivered as WebP or AVIF.
Why Chrome is useful
Chrome lets you inspect the live page and compare image URLs, displayed size and network weight. A browser extension can make this faster by collecting page image data in one place.
Connect the audit to optimization
Use the extension to find problems, then optimize local files or use the WordPress connector when the images belong to your own WordPress Media Library.
