I have a large number of images stored on a separate server, these URLs currently go through a 302 redirect. I think these additional pages are a total waste of time for Google to crawl.
At the moment it looks something like this:
Source page with image - https://www.mysite.example/inspiration/events/guernsey/spring-walking-festival/
Header Image source 302 redirect -
<img class="header-image"
src="/remote.axd/mysite.imageserver.example/media/5190/walking-festival-header.jpg?width=1200&height=600&mode=crop&anchor=bottom&quality=90"
srcset="/remote.axd/mysite.imageserver.example/media/5190/walking-festival-header.jpg)?width=320&height=450&mode=crop&anchor=bottom&quality=90 320w,
/remote.axd/mysite.imageserver.example/media/5190/walking-festival-header.jpg?width=640&height=450&mode=crop&anchor=bottom&quality=90 640w,
/remote.axd/mysite.imageserver.example/media/5190/walking-festival-header.jpg?width=1200&height=600&mode=crop&anchor=bottom&quality=90 1200w,
/remote.axd/mysite.imageserver.example/media/5190/walking-festival-header.jpg?width=1920&height=600&mode=crop&anchor=bottom&quality=90 1920w"

Example Page Google is redirected to - https://mysite.imageserver.example/cache/8/d/a/1/5/1/8da151431f9eebd9a4c232809792fb464e628d9f.jpg
Is the best process to update those URLs in the source code so they point to the final page but also no follow them so Google doesn't waste crawling?
