valerieflynn I've been working on my Sell page and created text links to the full sized perfume pictures for the item descriptions under the picture gallery.

valerieflynn But all my links to the image files in the media library are giving me a 404 error message.

#
valerieflynn Theoretically, if I'm directly linking to the full image there shouldn't be an issue, I assumed.

valerieflynn Is there something I'm missing or keywords to search for to help me figure out what's going wrong?

[rose] I am taking a quick look, Valerie. There are some general performance issues affecting the whole site - I'd look at fixing those at the same time, because images are really slow to load.
#
[rose] https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-valerieflynn-com-sell/shaz4f5qa3?form_factor=mobile shows there's a lot of code loading from Substack. That's causing problems. But yeah, sizing images properly and using webp format will make a huge difference. It shows you some examples on that link.
#
[rose] I'd also check if you have some sort of overly aggressive anti hotlinking plugin or host-level setting, because I noticed links showing up in pagespeed aren't clickable. Some SEO plugins may also interfere. You can get might get an answer by looking at the server level access log. That may indicate why it's coming up as a 404. I'd also suggest asking in The Admin Bar on Facebook when it comes to Wordpress - they are all Wordpress users
#
[rose] it seems so more likely to have dealt with this before.
