Investigation Brief

Image recommendations should distinguish real user-facing image work from wasteful transformations.

Evidence To Check

Inspect the sampled files for raw image tags, dimensions, remote sources, repeated transforms, source image limits, icons, SVGs, GIFs, and existing framework image components.

Do Not Recommend When

Do not route tiny icons, SVG UI assets, or animated GIFs through image optimization just because they are images. Do not change remote-source policy without checking the existing config.

Verification

Name the image files or components, current rendering path, and the metric or scanner evidence that makes optimization material.
