Abstract
A method and associated system for managing web page images. After detection of a modification to a web page, the method attempts but fails to retrieve an image from a first location pointed to by a path included in a first link in a list of links included in the web page and in response, an image placeholder is stored at the first location. A request, for a replacement image to replace the image placeholder at the first location, is published. The request specifies that the replacement image must have specified resolution dimensions and a larger size than a size of the image placeholder. The replacement image, which is received in response to the request, is determined to have the specified resolution dimensions and a larger size than the size of the image placeholder and in response, the image placeholder is replaced with the replacement image at the first location.
