Okay, hereS a breakdown of the HTML snippet you provided, focusing on its content and structure. I’ll explain the key elements and what they represent.
Overall Structure
This HTML appears to be a section of a web article, likely a feature or interview. It’s structured with a mix of images, captions, and paragraphs of text. the classes (like lrv-u-*, c-*, a-*) suggest a specific design system or framework is being used (likely PMC’s VIP platform, based on the theme name).
Key Elements and Clarification
<figure>Element:
* This is the main container for the image and its caption. It semantically represents self-contained content, like an illustration, diagram, photo, code listing, etc.
* class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube": This indicates that there is a YouTube video embedded in the article.
<div>withc-lazy-imageClass:
* This is a container for the image itself. The c-lazy-image class suggests that the image is being loaded using a “lazy loading” technique. Lazy loading improves page performance by only loading images when they are visible in the viewport.
<div>withlrv-a-crop-16x9Class:
* This div is used to maintain a 16:9 aspect ratio for the image. the padding-bottom: calc((683/1024)*100%); CSS property is a clever trick to achieve this. It sets the padding-bottom to a percentage based on the image’s height and width, effectively creating a container that forces the image to fit within the desired aspect ratio.
<img>Element:
* this is the actual image tag.
* src="https://www.vibe.com/wp-content/themes/vip/pmc-vibe-2021/assets/public/lazyload-fallback.gif": This is the initial source of the image. It’s a placeholder GIF that’s displayed while the actual image is loading.
* data-lazy-src="https://www.vibe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/TCDCUTS_EC011_a45ef9.jpg?w=1024": This attribute holds the URL of the actual image. The JavaScript lazy loading script will replace the src attribute with this value when the image is about to become visible.
* data-lazy-srcset="...": This attribute provides different image sizes for different screen resolutions. This is important for responsive design,allowing the browser to choose the most appropriate image size based on the user’s device.
* data-lazy-sizes="...": This attribute provides hints to the browser about the image’s size at different viewport widths.
* alt="": The alt attribute is important for accessibility. It provides a text description of the image for screen readers and is displayed if the image cannot be loaded. Critically important: This alt attribute is currently empty,which is not ideal.It should contain a descriptive text.
* height="683" width="1024": Specifies the dimensions of the image.
* decoding="async": Tells the browser to decode the image asynchronously, which can improve page load performance.
<figcaption>Element:
* This is the caption for the image.
* class="c-figcaption a-font-body-bold-m lrv-u-margin-t-050": Classes for styling the caption (font weight, margin top).
* The text within the <figcaption> provides information about the image: the show (“Cuts”), the actors, the episode, the year, and the source.
<p>Elements withparagraph larvaClass:
* these are the paragraphs of text in the article.
