Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
No, our plugin or any other SEO plugin won’t help with this matter.
This needs to be done from the actual theme development side of the website and set the explicit image’s width and height from there to correct the warnings.
Having said that, please note that this is not an SEO issue and not having width and height won’t cause any drop in the overall SEO of your website.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
Hello Miguel,
Thank you for your quick response. Actually, CLS became a ranking factor in June 2021 when Google’s Page Experience Update started rolling out. That means your CLS score (together with LCP and First Input Delay metrics) now affects your SEO. It already affected one of our clients website. That’s why we are worried for our website.
I already consulted our developers for this. As per our developer, if we set fixed width & hight for those images. It may cause responsive issue.
Hello,
Yes, CLS is a ranking factor, but the specific width and height of the images are not as we indicated earlier.
If the CLS issue is happening because of the missing width and height on your website you need to consult with your developer on how to make this work consistently without changing the layout of the website.
This is not something that can be controlled with an SEO plugin.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
Hi @Miguel
I already consulted our website’s developer & our client website’s developer. As per developer, if we set fixed width & hight for those images. It may cause responsive issue. That’s why I’m here to consult you.
Hello,
Sorry for the delay in replying.
As stated earlier, specifying image width and height is not a function of Rank Math or any other SEO plugin. It needs to be done in theme/design of the website. You can also set ‘min-width’ in your CSS settings to avoid responsive breaking issues.
Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have questions.
