    Ok, I figured this out. In the end, I don’t think the Optimize plugin had anything to do with it, although it complicated the troubleshooting.

    Jetpack by default has some site acceleration settings turned on (which may or may not duplicate or conflict with what the Optimize plugin is doing) and one of the things they do is serve your images for you. If you have anti-hotlink settings on your server to prevent people from hijacking your images, this will conflict with what Jetpack is doing.

    Plus, with some of the new WordPress functions, your images are resaved in several sizes. If you then resize images by dragging the box, you’ve got a mess of decentralized control, and you can’t really be sure of what’s going on.

    Wordpress should strip down the ways of doing things unless all the ways will play nice together, and they should be more straight up about what jetpack is doing. If you are having trouble with servers like i1.wp.com, that’s jetpack fiddling around with accelerating your images for you.

    I wasted a bit of time chasing this around, and in the mean time, my site looked very unprofessional with a bunch of missing images on the rendered site even though they were right there where you put them in the editor. Extremely frustrating.

    Thanks, guys, worked like a charm.
