Hello,
I just tested my page with GTMetrix (https://gtmetrix.com) and it claimed that there are no specified image dimensions for the product images (“The following image(s) are missing width and/or height attributes.”) For SEO, these attributes are very important. Why dont you set them?
Someone asked the same question already one year ago (https://www.8theme.com/topic/specify-image-dimensions-in/) but there have been no efforts with this issue.
Many thanks in advance and happy holidays.

***not “claimed” – I mean “complained” – somehow I am unable to edit my posts; when I click on “edit” it always says “you cannot create new topics”…

Hello,

As I see the images mentioned are the ones you uploaded:

Are you still using these images?
Please provide us with wp-admin panel credentials and show pages where those images are shown.

Thank you.
Regards,
Eva Kemp.

Hello,
yes of course I have uploaded the images and I am using them as product images. Please delete the screenshot as I dont want my page url to be public. The images are shown on the product pages and product archive. Please find temporary credentials in private content and please let me know what you edit.
Many thanks.

Hello,

Unfortunately some functions that are used for images resizing, don’t generate images sizes. If we change these functions some template functionality will be broken. That’s why we decided to keep them.

By the way, your site is very nice. Great work!

Eva Kemp.

Hello,

Sorry for a delay.
You can set sizes via css file, but it won’t make any effect for SEO because sizes should be written as an attribute in html code of a page, but as we told you, it can’t be done.
