Astro Image Asset Not Used

I'm a little confused as to why the source file for the Preview component is using a standard img tag rather than integrate the Astro Image tag?

#111 started some work around this although unfortunately haven’t had time to look at it yet.

The image source in this case is remote (a URL provided by the site the preview link is for), so in any case Astro’s <Image> wouldn’t optimise without additional configuration (see “Remote Images” in the Astro Docs).

Thanks for following up. I realized that it wouldn't have mattered after I made this post. I switched Astro's Image handler to Unpic's service so I noticed a change in the image tags.

It now seems to be possible to let Astro import remote images. It's not perfect but it could be a good improvement compared to plain <img /> tags

Remote images from other sources will not be optimized, but using the <Image /> component for these images will prevent Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS).
