What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Images, icons, fonts, and video — responsive images, modern formats, lazy loading, CLS/LCP optimization, SVG handling, font loading. Use when adding or optimizing images, fonts, video, favicons, or fixing layout-shift / slow-LCP issues. 日本語の依頼例:「画像が重い/遅い」「画像を最適化して」「フォント読み込み」「動画埋め込み」「LCP改善」「レイアウトがガタつく」「ファビコン」。

Images & Media

The two invariants

No CLS: every image/video/embed has intrinsic dimensions — width+height attributes or CSS aspect-ratio on the container. No exceptions.
The LCP element loads eagerly: the above-the-fold hero image is never lazy-loaded; mark it priority (priority in next/image, loading="eager" + fetchpriority="high" elsewhere). Everything below the fold: loading="lazy" + decoding="async". (Target: LCP ≤ 2.5 s at p75 — the budget lives in governance.)

Use the framework's pipeline first

Next.js: next/image (constrain remotePatterns tightly — SSRF surface, see frontend-security).
Astro: astro:assets <Image>/<Picture>.
Plain Vite SPA: hand-rolled <img srcset sizes>; generate AVIF/WebP variants at build time (e.g. vite-imagetools) — don't ship original camera-size JPEGs.

Formats & sizing

Raster: AVIF/WebP with the pipeline handling fallback. Vector (icons, illustrations, logos): SVG.
sizes must reflect the actual rendered width per breakpoint — a sizes="100vw" default on a 400px card image ships 3× the bytes.
Don't scale down in CSS what you could resize at build/request time.

SVG

Styled/animated/recolorable SVG: inline as a component, fill="currentColor" (icon system rules in design-system).
Static decorative SVG: <img src="*.svg"> is fine and cacheable.
Run bundled SVGs through SVGO. User-supplied SVG is executable content — never inline it; see frontend-security uploads.
Accessibility: decorative → alt="" when loaded via <img>, aria-hidden="true" when inlined; meaningful → alt text on <img>, or role="img" + <title>/aria-label inline (see a11y).

Fonts

Framework loader first (next/font — also removes layout shift via size-adjust fallbacks). Otherwise: self-hosted woff2 only, @font-face with font-display: swap (or optional for non-brand-critical), <link rel="preload"> the critical face, subset to used scripts.
Never load fonts via CSS @import or third-party CSS CDNs at runtime (render-blocking + privacy). Prefer one variable font over many static weights.

Video & animated content

Short looping animation: <video autoplay muted loop playsinline> (or animated AVIF) — never GIF (10× the bytes).
Content video: preload="metadata", a real poster, captions <track> required (see a11y), and never autoplay with sound.
Heavy embeds (YouTube etc.): load a thumbnail facade, swap in the iframe on interaction.

Favicons / app icons

Minimum set: favicon.ico (legacy), one SVG icon, one 180px apple-touch-icon, web manifest icons. Use the framework's metadata/file conventions rather than hand-written <link> soup.
