This is often ignored when in website migrations.
If your image URLs change, you need to set up redirects. Otherwise, you might lose image traffic.
Your images acquire signals over time, and when you change their URLs, Google treats them as new images. So you start from scratch

Page Speed Tip:

And I'm wondering if we'll see a full page in the future ๐ค
Will we?
