- Read the policy above to learn about what we don't allow. Check your hosting server to make sure that the images are not blocked and that the server isn’t taking too long to serve them.
- Host the image in an accessible location. Open permissions to allow the image to be used by your feed. Check your SSL certificate with an online tool, or switch to URLs that don't use your website's SSL certificate. If your server can’t respond in a reasonable amount of time, move your content to a new server that can handle requests for images.
