Specify Image Dimensions

Description

Specify Image Dimensions is a plugin that scans and inserts missing width and height in all <img> tags. Specifying the dimension allows for faster rendering by eliminating the need for unnecessary re-flows and repaints. This is particularly helpful with website speed tools such as GTmetrix and Google’s PageSpeed.

Before

<img src="http://example.com/image.jpg" title="Some Title" />
<img src="http://example.com/vector.svg" class="svg" />
<img src="http://example.com/another-vector.webp" />

After

<img src="http://example.com/image.jpg" title"Some Title" width="100" height="25" />
<img src="http://example.com/vector.svg" class="svg" width="100%" height="auto" />
<img src="http://example.com/another-vector.webp" width="100%" height="auto" />

writing this in 2021 and this plug-in is still working amazingly. I actually installed the other one that was specified missing image dimmensions. the plug-in had much more features but it broke any side I put it on and it was recently updated. This one is five years old and it still works amazing!
