Checks for descriptive image filenames

| | |
|---|---|
| **Rule ID** | `images/filename-quality` |
| **Category** | [Images](/rules/images) |
| **Scope** | Per-page |
| **Severity** | info |
| **Weight** | 2/10 |

## Solution

Use descriptive, keyword-rich filenames for images instead of generic names like IMG_001.jpg or DSC1234.png. Good: 'red-running-shoes-nike.jpg'. Bad: 'IMG_20231015.jpg'. Filenames contribute to image SEO and help search engines understand image content. Use hyphens to separate words.
