Hi Eric,
Maintaining compatibility with Google Drive has been a challenge. First, Google does not want images to be delivered through Google Drive because it is a storage server, not a delivery server.
To make it work, we had to add a CDN through the Optimized Images feature. However, the public CDN is no longer serving Google Drive images. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about that because the CDN is not ours.
So, what can be done now? You have two options. The first is to move your Google Drive images to another storage server, preferably one designed for content delivery. The second is to upgrade to the Pro version of FIFU, where we provide a private CDN that allows you to display Google Drive images.
Unfortunately, our private CDN is not available in the free version because FIFU is still a small project and does not have the resources to support everyone using the free version.
These are the available options for now.
Hello Marcel, ok that’s a shame, but there’s no other free public CDN Fifu could use?

Unfortunately, public CDNs are not common. They involve costs, so it is not common for them to be offered for free. However, if you find any free options, we would be glad to integrate them with FIFU.
Another public CDN that FIFU uses is the wp.com CDN, but it does not support Google Drive. It has some limitations, so we had to create our own CDN.
