Counts the unique, relevant images on the homepage and confirms there are at least five, the minimum visual density for a credible personal-brand site.
Category: Website QA Audit
Use this when closing Layer 2 (Content Architecture Checks) of the Website QA Audit – five distinct real images is the floor, not the goal.
Inputs
- Homepage URL
- Chrome DevTools (Network tab filtered to Img) or a Screaming Frog crawl of the homepage for the exact image inventory
- Verdicts from the no-stock and relevant-image checks (reuse them)
- The audit report/spreadsheet for logging results
Steps
- Load the homepage with DevTools Network → Img (or crawl the URL in Screaming Frog) to list every image file the page actually renders.
- Strip non-qualifying entries from the count: logos, icons, background textures, spacer graphics, and favicons don't count as content images.
- De-duplicate – the same photo used twice counts once. The count needs DISTINCT images.
- Confirm each counted image is relevant and real (cross-reference the ensure-no-stock-images-used verdicts; stock images don't count toward the five).
- Confirm all qualifying images actually render on mobile – responsively hidden images don't count for mobile visitors.
- Log the final count with the image list in the audit report; 5 or more passes, 4 or fewer fails.
Definition of done (QA checklist)
- Homepage renders at least 5 distinct, relevant, non-stock content images on desktop and mobile
- Count excludes logos, icons, backgrounds, and duplicates – image list itemized
- Count and inventory logged in the audit report, linked back to /website-qa-audit
Example(s)
- Example needed – run the Meta-Article Prompt after first real run.
