To see if your site has been indexed by search engines (Bing, Google, Yahoo etc), enter the URL of your domain with "site:" before it, i.e. "site:mystunningwebsite.com".
Then to find out what images are indexed click the image tab in the search results.
"src" and "href" for images are indexed by the search engines. "srcset" for images are not. This is the issue we are trying to resolve.
In Russ's website, http://www.andycrafts.co.uk/ images that you click on and have a "href" will be indexed.
However on his page http://www.andycrafts.co.uk/hand1.html where he has a regular image http://www.andycrafts.co.uk/ltjumpersb.jpg it does not get indexed because it only has a "srcset". (which are beautiful pictures of colorful infant sweaters.)
This occurs on everyones website I have tested built with RSD 1.5 and up using the picture element and picture link element (excluding the "href" of course).
So do you think there could be an easy fix for this? Is there a specific reason they need to use the srcset tag?
I can only speak to the first question Jeff from a personal unqualified user thought process....
Can we just have a box that we checkmark that either says "Yes" I would like my "src" to remain unchanged or "No" please change the "src" to the 1x1 gif so that it loads fast as this image is not important to SEO search results.
