If you're experiencing issues with the rendering of images on your Webflow site in Internet Explorer, there are several steps you can take to improve the performance and display quality. Here are some tips:

  1. Optimize your images: The size and format of your images can greatly impact their rendering in Internet Explorer. Make sure to optimize your images by reducing their file size without compromising the quality. You can use image compression tools like TinyPNG or JPEGMini to achieve this.

  2. Use the correct image formats: Internet Explorer supports various image formats, including JPEG, PNG, and GIF. However, to ensure better rendering, it is recommended to use JPEG for photographs and PNG for graphics and illustrations. Avoid using transparent PNGs as they can cause rendering issues in older versions of Internet Explorer.

  3. Check for unsupported features: Internet Explorer has limited support for some modern CSS properties and JavaScript functions. Make sure to review your site's CSS and JavaScript to ensure you're not using any unsupported features or functions that may affect the rendering of images.

  4. Test your site in different versions of Internet Explorer: To ensure your images render properly in Internet Explorer, it's important to test your site in different versions of the browser. Use tools like BrowserStack or Sauce Labs to perform cross-browser testing and identify any specific rendering issues.

  5. Use fallback solutions: In some cases, certain CSS properties or JavaScript functions may not work as expected in Internet Explorer. To ensure your images still display properly, consider using fallback solutions. For example, you can provide a fallback background color for images with transparent backgrounds or use conditional comments to target specific versions of Internet Explorer.

  6. Keep your Webflow site up to date: Webflow regularly releases updates and bug fixes to improve browser compatibility. Make sure to keep your Webflow site up to date with the latest version to ensure better rendering of images in Internet Explorer.

By following these steps, you can enhance the rendering of images on your Webflow site in Internet Explorer and provide a better user experience.
