# Missing image search console error

 * On search console I had various elements accepted by Google with non-critical
   reports. After installing the plugin I have a critical report on all merchant
   listings “image missing”. Reading the other posts I understood that the problem
   concerns the original size of the image, but if Google didn’t tell me anything
   before, it means that it was fine as it is. Now I’m penalized.

 * Including an image that is too small in your Schema markup will not trigger an
   error in the validator, as the validator does not check image sizes, but Google
   will not use that image in search results etc. WPSSO checks image sizes, and 
   if the original image is too small to include in the Schema markup, it will show
   a notice (when saving a post/page) with possible solutions.

 * Ok but this doesn’t solve my problem.
   Before installing your plugin Search Console
   correctly detected the image on the product. After installing the plugin it gives
   an error (missing field).

 * WPSSO will not include images that are too small, and as I said, WPSSO will show
   a notice when editing a post/page/product/etc. with suggestions to provide a 
   larger image.
 * If you prefer to have Schema markup with images that are too small for Google,
   you should consider a different plugin like Yoast SEO or Rank Math – both these
   plugins will include images without checking their size or aspect ratio.

 * If I purchase the premium version can I use the upscaling function? Unfortunately
   the images are synchronized directly from a management system, there are 4000
   of them and I can’t think of resizing them manually. On average the dimensions
   are 700×600.

 * A 700x600px image only fills a 350x300px HTML container for retina devices, which
   is very small. I would suggest you use larger original images of at least 1200x1200px
   and let WordPress create smaller images as required. See here for more info:

 * As for upscaling, yes that is a Premium edition feature, but upscaling images
   beyond 10-30% is definitely not recommended.
