Automatic image optimization

Automatic image optimization

The recommended preset now enables image optimization automatically, with a provider matching your deployment adapter (auto-detected from the environment, or set via the adapter option):

• Vercel: Vercel Image Optimization.
• Cloudflare: Cloudflare Image Transformations.
• Node.js: the self-hosted Sharp endpoint, only when sharp is installed in your app and the render mode is not static.

On other targets, or when the requirements above aren't met, image optimization is skipped and the Image component keeps rendering a plain <img>, so sharp stays an optional dependency.

An explicitly configured image plugin takes priority over the detected provider. Configure one to customize options such as allowedHosts for remote images.
