Description
Is your feature request related to a problem?
We have no control over the size of external images that are displayed in the Recommendations Block, but we may have some control in the future for images that are within the website.
Clearly, this is a work in progress even for Gutenberg:
- https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/6177
- https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/11822
- https://gitlab.com/WPezPlugins/wpez-guten-better-image
Describe the solution you'd like
Waiting for a Gutenberg solution and using it in our own Block would be the most painless and correct way to do this. The downside is the wait.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Implementing a solution ourselves, but it seems that it would introduce work and complexity which probably aren't within the plugin's scope.

Research direction
Start with the Recommendations Block implementation and the linked Gutenberg issues 6177 and 11822 to determine whether a supported image-optimization approach exists. Completion depends on selecting an adopted Gutenberg solution or defining an in-scope alternative, but this issue does not specify an independent implementation or acceptance criteria.
