Image Optimization in Vite React vs Next.js
Coming from Next.js Image component, Vite React app loads unoptimized images. No automatic responsive images or lazy loading. Performance metrics show large image bytes.
Vite doesn't provide built-in image optimization like Next.js. Manual optimization or third-party tools needed.
Common Causes
- Not using lazy loading on images
- Loading full resolution images on all screen sizes
- Using PNG for photographs instead of WebP
- No image format negotiation for browser support
- Missing responsive image srcset
How to Fix It
Use lazy loading and responsive images:

Or use image optimization library like image-minimizer-webpack-plugin.
