Images served through the Next Image component are served through a static generated URL.
Now, this URL differers on desktop and mobile because of different image sizes (the image width and height are parsed in the URL). Isn't this a bad practice in SEO terms? For example; if I have a horse image, should the url not be something like https://example.com/images/beautiful-horse-in-sunset.png instead of /_next/image&url=...?w-1200&q=75 (desktop) and /_next/image&url=...?w-600&q=75 (mobile).
Also the website already is ranking very good like 20 - 40 clicks on Google Images Search and that's ranked with images are https://example.com/images/beautiful-horse-in-sunset.png, do we need a rewrite 301 or so for handeling and keep the rankings?
I'm sure there is a logical answer/solution, I just haven't found it yet so maybe someone here

Nobody has questions about SEO and images urls

next image urls are fine for SEO, only thing you need to worry is alt tag, and maybe title, but title is less important
