Advice

Always set the height and width of the picture. So when the page is loaded, space is reserved for the picture. Otherwise, the browser will not know the size of the image and will not reserve space, causing the page layout to change as the page loads.
If the size of a large image is reduced using the "height" and "width" attributes, the user will load the large image (even if it appears small on the page). Therefore, we recommend that you first resize the image in a graphics editor.
