Lazy Loading & Image SEO
-
I wanted to implement lazy loading on my whole domain, but was unsure about the effect on the organic image search. Therefore I implemented it some months ago on 3 selected URLs with medium organic image traffic. Unfortunately all 3 pages dropped significantly (roughly 80%) of image impressions and clicks (seach console data). It seems that just images within the fold, that are not loaded via lazy load are still ranking.
Does anybody have here more positive experiences?

I've created a CapCut template website called capcuttemplatee.co.in/. On my site, I post CapCut templates along with download buttons. However, I've noticed that these buttons are not appearing in Google's button results. I've already optimized the buttons and used appropriate alt text and file names. What could be the reason for this?

If you are using Wordpress then try to install some lazy load plugins. Learn more about it.

I haven't yet seen issues with lazy loading, also you can always separately file them as an image sitemap, but I can't see how this should be related to ranking drops to be honest as long as Google can still read the same attributes under the same URL.

Thanks for the additional information.
I am surprised that your image search traffic dropped.
-
No, everything the same. The only thing what was changed, the loading over lazy load to have a propper testing environment.

Did you change the URLs of the images, change their file names, change their alt attribute, change their size (file or pixel), change where they are hosted?

Google Images
Hi, I'm setting up a Barcelona guide as a hobby: barcelonacitybreak.com. Naturally I take care to use good alt-tags, checking Google images I see one of the photos I took listed as number one: "hibernian bookstore barcelona". There is no doubt that this is the photo I took myself, but when I place the mouse over the photo the origin is listed as:http://www.auladirectiva.com/. What is even more worrying though is that when I press the image I automatically download this: "Antispy 2011" from http://protectionxpscannermaster.com! Evidently some kind of "anti-virus" program. How is this possible?
