      Thanks Dan !

      I'm agree with you. It's problematic because since website redesign, we record a fall of images traffic by Google 😞

        I see, thanks. Hmmm... did anything else change besides the re-design? Did the images URLs change, or did where they were being hosted change?

        The current implementation doesn't show any issues, but I wonder if things were properly done in moving to the new design. Did you always have a slideshow format? Did the code change or just the design?

          Thanks Dan. Unfortunately, we have changed the images of host, on a different CDN...

          Before the redesign, we used exactly this configuration, visible on this page (it's just an article, we don't have a slideshow example):
          http://www.parismatch.com/Chroniques/Art-de-vivre/Lodge-Story-925785

          We have perhaps a problem with the image sitemaps because we have in Google Sitemaps:

          <image: loc="">http://cdn-parismatch.ladmedia.fr/var/news/storage/images/paris-match/culture/cinema/le-fils-de-saul-la-critique-763334/8067828-1-fre-FR/Le-Fils-de-Saul-la-critique.jpg</image:>

          and in the HTML source:

          the perhaps should be put in the same sitempas URLs as used in HTML?

          Many thanks for your help ! 🙂

            Is this your current sitemap?

            http://www.parismatch.com/var/exports/sitemaps/sitemap_parismatch-index.xml

            What is the direct address of the image sitemap(s)?

            Thanks!

                    Thanks! OK, yes I'd make your Sitemap and HTML image URLs the same.

                    Also, that's a LOT of images, so I'm not surprised Google is taking time to index them.

                    Also, there can sometimes be a delay in Search Console data. You can always be checking Google itself to see what files are indexed.

                      Ok, what is the best method that you recommend for verify images indexation directly in Google ?

                      I would post a message explaining the change after change sitemaps.

                      Thanks for all

                        You can do a "site:" search directly in Google like this and I currently see this --> http://screencast.com/t/ZVqq5iumQ - you can probably do a site: search on the whole domain, a subfolder or a specific page etc.
