How images are handled

Served from this domain, resized at build time, and never hotlinked from Pixabay.

Pixabay's API terms prohibit permanent hotlinking, so every photograph is downloaded once, stored in the repository and converted to WebP at several widths during the build. If a photo is ever replaced, the entry above is updated with it — credits are part of the content, not a footer afterthought.
