Generic image filenames
What this means
Section titled “What this means”One or more images have filenames like IMG_4027.jpg, screenshot001.png, photo3.webp, or DSC_0045.jpg. Google indexes image filenames as one signal it uses to understand image content. A filename like london-office-team.jpg carries more meaning than IMG_4027.jpg, both for Google Image search and for understanding the surrounding page.
This check runs at the codebase level — it scans your project files, not the live site — so it can catch assets before they reach production.
How to fix it
Section titled “How to fix it”Rename each flagged image to describe what it actually shows. Use hyphens as word separators and keep it all lowercase.
| Generic | Descriptive |
|---|---|
IMG_4027.jpg |
london-office-team.jpg |
screenshot001.png |
dashboard-analytics-overview.png |
photo3.webp |
ceo-speaking-at-conference.webp |
DSC_0045.jpg |
product-close-up-ceramic-mug.jpg |
untitled.png |

After renaming, update every reference to the old filename in your codebase. A project-wide search for the old name is the safest way to find all of them — import statements, src attributes, CSS url() calls, and manifest files all count.
Verify the fix
Section titled “Verify the fix”Re-run the audit:
npx orino-cli auditThe check scans all image files in the project directory for generic filename patterns. Once the flagged files are renamed, they drop out of the report.
