The Image detail page shows the evidence Siteimp collected for one image asset in a scan.
This page is one of the most useful places to inspect image hygiene because it connects the asset itself, where it appears, how it was fetched, and what metadata Siteimp found.
It is especially useful for EXIF review. A normal image can carry hidden metadata, and this page puts that evidence in one place before the asset ships, stays published, or gets handed to a client.
What this page is for
The Image detail page helps answer:
- what image is this?
- where is it used?
- how large is it?
- what content type did the server return?
- did the image fetch successfully?
- does it contain EXIF metadata?
- does it appear to contain GPS metadata?
- what raw EXIF fields did Siteimp extract?
Summary panel
The top panel shows a preview when Siteimp can safely render one, followed by key facts about the asset.
Dimensions shows the intrinsic image dimensions.
Size shows the response size.
Content type shows the server-reported media type.
Source pages shows how many pages referenced this image.
EXIF shows whether Siteimp found EXIF metadata.
GPS shows whether Siteimp found GPS metadata inside the EXIF data.
If the image has GPS: Yes, review it carefully. That may indicate location information is embedded in the file.
Where it is used
The Where it is used table shows each recorded usage of this image.
Page shows the page where Siteimp found the image.
Usage describes how the image was used, such as an image source, Open Graph image, Twitter image, favicon, CSS image, or another usage type.
Reference shows the image reference found on the page.
Alt text shows the recorded alt text when available.
Display shows the displayed dimensions when Siteimp collected them.
Attrs shows width and height attributes when they were present.
This section is useful when an image needs to be replaced, optimized, removed, or checked for accessibility context.
Technical details
The Technical details section shows fetch-level evidence for the image.
Important fields include:
- Asset URL, the URL Siteimp collected
- Final URL, the URL after redirects
- Status, the HTTP status code
- Redirects, the number of redirects followed
- Fetched at, when Siteimp fetched the asset
- Fetch time, how long the request took
- Body sample, how many bytes were sampled
- SHA-256, a content hash for identifying the asset
- Fetch error, any recorded fetch failure
These fields help separate content problems from transport problems. For example, a missing image, a redirect, a wrong content type, and a slow fetch are different clues.
EXIF summary
The EXIF summary section gives a quick overview of image metadata.
It can show:
- whether the image has EXIF metadata
- whether GPS metadata was detected
- camera make
- camera model
- original date
- risk tags
Risk tags are compact labels Siteimp can use to highlight metadata worth reviewing.
A missing camera make or model does not necessarily mean anything is wrong. Many screenshots, graphics, generated images, compressed images, and optimized assets do not keep camera metadata.
EXIF details
The EXIF details table lists the raw EXIF fields Siteimp extracted.
Use this section when you need to inspect the exact metadata fields instead of only the summary.
The Copy EXIF JSON button copies the raw EXIF JSON so you can paste it into a support request, developer note, client handoff, or issue tracker.
Why EXIF is important
EXIF can be useful. It can show image dimensions, original timestamps, camera details, and other technical facts.
EXIF can also carry information that should not be public.
GPS metadata is the clearest example. If an image contains coordinates, it may reveal where the photo was taken. Other fields can also reveal workflow details, software, timestamps, or camera information.
Siteimp does not automatically decide whether metadata is safe. It helps you see it before you make that decision.
What to check next
For any image with EXIF or GPS metadata, decide whether that metadata should remain published.
For important public images, check:
- whether GPS metadata is present
- whether the original date is appropriate
- whether camera or software fields should remain
- whether the file size is reasonable
- whether the image is used on pages where you expect it
- whether alt text is present when the image is meaningful content
If the image is decorative, repeated, or generated by a template, check the source template or asset pipeline.
Image not found
If Siteimp shows Image not found, the image detail row could not be loaded for this scan.
This can happen if the image ID does not belong to the current snapshot, the scan data changed, or the route was opened with an invalid image identifier.
Return to the Images page and open the image again from the table.
Failed to load image detail
If Siteimp shows Failed to load image detail, the app could not load the image detail or usage rows.
Return to the Images page and try again. If the problem continues, contact technical support and include the scan number, image URL if visible, and the error text shown in the app.
