Description

In a support request (https://github.com/Automattic/jpop-issues/issues/7119) a user queried why the images displayed in search results were so big.

It turns out they did not have Photon aka Image CDN enabled.

It would be helpful if the wp-admin UI told the user that their search performance would be improved with Image CDN is enabled, if they're using a result format with images.

Research direction

Start in the wp-admin UI for search result formats and trace how image results detect whether Image CDN is enabled. Confirm the relevant state when images are used and Image CDN is off, then verify that users receive a clear performance notice without affecting other result formats.
