Why won't my image load in html even tho I put the image in the same folder?

I'm trying to learn html and I'm trying to add an image, I put the image in the same folder as my html file and named it spoder.png. When I tried to load it up in my browser, the image won't appear and only the alt message comes up. How do I fix this?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
    <img src="/spoder.png" alt="image cannot load">
</body>
</html>

Agree with the previous answer and will just add that the leading slash always points back to the root.

If it's in the same folder, the src atrribute must be src="spoder.png" (no slash)
