Google Images Showing On Right Side

Why are web page images not showing?

Updated: 02/01/2021 by Computer Hope

While browsing the Internet, various factors determine whether or not images load properly. There are also a few ways that image issues manifest themselves. For instance, pictures might not appear at all, or show as a broken link (similar to the examples in the image). The following sections contain explanations and suggestions for fixing these problems.

To proceed, select the option that best describes your situation from the list below and follow the instructions.

• Browser does not display any images on any page
• Try a different browser
• Browser configuration
• Clear cache and cookies
• Browser updates
• Browser shows images, but some are missing

Browser does not display any images on any page

If you don't see any images at all, it's likely an issue on your end and not the web page you're visiting. More specifically, it may be due to browser settings or incompatibilities. Before proceeding, make sure your Internet connection is working by going to a website you have never visited.

Try a different browser

One of the best ways to determine if it's your computer or the website is by trying a different browser. For instance, if you're using Chrome, you could try Firefox or Microsoft Edge. If you can view images on a different browser, that's an indication something is wrong with the browser you use normally.

Browser configuration

Most web browsers support the ability to disable images from being displayed. This option helps with load times for users who have a slower Internet connection or are only interested in the text on a page. Choose your browser from the list below and follow the steps to verify that images are enabled.

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Microsoft Edge
• Internet Explorer
• Safari
• Opera

Safari

In Safari, to enable and disable images in the browser, you need to access the developer options. The following sections show you how to turn on this feature, and then how to toggle images on and off.

1. Open the Safari browser.
2. Select from the menu bar at the top-left corner of the screen.
3. In the drop-down menu that appears, select Preferences.

1. Open Opera.
2. In the upper-left corner of the screen, click the icon.
3. Select Settings from the drop-down menu.

4. On the left side of the screen, click Advanced, and then select Privacy and security.

5. In the Privacy and security section, click Site Settings.

6. Scroll down the list and select Images.

7. Make sure the toggle switch is set to enable Show all (recommended).

Clear cache and cookies

If you've determined that images are enabled in your browser settings, the next step is to clear your cache and cookies. This action effectively "resets" anything saved from previous visits to websites and help fix the problem. Once you've cleared your cache and cookies, close and reopen the browser. Then, try accessing the site with the missing images again.

Browser updates

Another factor in page functionality is the browser's version. If you're using an out-of-date browser, it may be causing issues with the way pages are loading, including images. Once you've updated your browser, close and reopen it. Then, try the site with the missing images again.

Browser shows images, but some are missing

When only certain images are missing, it's usually a problem with the website you're visiting and not your computer or browser. More specifically, some images don't load for one or more of the following reasons.

Possible causes

• The web page is not pointing to the correct URL (location) of the image.
• The server or computer hosting the image has moved or removed the image, and the web page has not yet been updated.
• The web page or computer hosting the image is getting too many requests and can't send you the image.
• Your protection software is blocking the image.

Possible solutions

The following sections contain suggestions for resolving the issues surrounding specific websites or pages that are missing images.

Check an alternate server

One way to diagnose this problem is to see if the image is being hosted on an alternate server. If it is, try to locate it. Right-click the image or broken link icon and select Properties from the drop-down menu. You should see the Internet address of the image.

Copy that link, paste it into the address bar, and remove the name of the image. For example, if you performed this action on the image at the top of the page, you would copy "https://www.computerhope.com/issues/pictures/broken-links.png", then remove "broken-links.png" from the URL. Some websites list the directory of files (Computer Hope has this feature disabled), thus giving you the location of the image. Doing this is also a good method for determining whether or not the computer hosting the image is still active.

Disable spyware protection

If you trust the site you're visiting and have spyware protection (e.g., Malwarebytes or McAfee Total Protection), try temporarily disabling it to verify it's not blocking the images.

Try the page at a later time

Sometimes a website's server or hosting service is too busy to send you the requested images. Try visiting the web page in a few hours or the next day.

Try another source

Try searching for the file name in a popular search engine, such as Google, to see if the image is located elsewhere. The name of the image file is the last part of the URL. In the earlier example, searching "broken-links.png" may allow you to find the image somewhere else on the web.

Windows host

If you're running Microsoft Windows, verify your "hosts" file is not blocking or redirecting the website you're visiting. For more information, see our lmhost file definition page.
