Image Metadata
Checks if images contain excessive EXIF metadata.
What is this check?
EXIF data is metadata (like camera model, date taken, GPS location) that is stored within an image file.
Why is it important?
While useful for photographers, this data is unnecessary for web display and can add significant size to image files. Stripping this data can reduce file sizes without affecting image quality.
What is the impact?
It's a simple optimization that can help reduce page weight and improve load times. Most image optimization tools can be configured to remove this data automatically.
