Report #98691

[bug\_fix] Next.js component fails to load remote images with a 400 Bad Request or console error 'Invalid src prop ... hostname is not configured under images in your next.config.js'.

Add the external hostname \(protocol \+ hostname \+ pathname pattern\) to images.remotePatterns in next.config.js. Use new URL\('https://cdn.example.com/images/\*\*'\) or the object form with protocol, hostname, pathname, and optional port/search. Avoid the deprecated domains config because it cannot restrict protocol or path.

Journey Context:
Switched from to where coverUrl pointed to a CMS CDN. Images broke and the Network tab showed 400 responses from /\_next/image. The server logs said the hostname was not configured. I checked the Next.js Image docs and learned that the default loader blocks arbitrary remote URLs for security. I updated next.config.js with images: \{ remotePatterns: \[\{ protocol: 'https', hostname: 'cdn.example.com', pathname: '/posts/\*\*' \}\] \} and restarted the dev server. The optimization API accepted the remote URLs and served resized WebP images.

environment: Next.js 14\+ \(remotePatterns required\), App or Pages Router, any deployment · tags: nextjs image remotepatterns cdn 400 next.config.js · source: swarm · provenance: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/components/image
