 * Hi I am having a weird problem that just started today. My data uris generated
   by Autooptimize are all turning up blank for the thumbnails ?
 * Example is image thumbnails at [http://wordpress7.centminmod.com/232/wordpress-7-site-updates/](http://wordpress7.centminmod.com/232/wordpress-7-site-updates/).
   Turning data uris generation on or off and clearing all caches don’t have any
   effect. Accessing data uris directly in Opera 43 and Chrome 56 on Windows 10 
   result in same blank images.

 * you have something else adding (a lazy load plugin?) that is meddling here [@eva2000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eva2000/),
   even when AO isn’t active, cfr. [http://wordpress7.centminmod.com/232/wordpress-7-site-updates/?ao_noptimize=1](http://wordpress7.centminmod.com/232/wordpress-7-site-updates/?ao_noptimize=1)
   with this code in the unoptimized HTML source;
 *     ```
       <img  class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-238"  src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" data-src="http://wordpress7.centminmod.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/blitzio-10kusers-benchmark-00.png"  alt="" width="686" height="1062" data-srcset="http://wordpress7.centminmod.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/blitzio-10kusers-benchmark-00.png 686w, http://wordpress7.centminmod.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/blitzio-10kusers-benchmark-00-194x300.png 194w, http://wordpress7.centminmod.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/blitzio-10kusers-benchmark-00-661x1024.png 661w" data-sizes="(max-width: 686px) 100vw, 686px" />
       ```
   
 * find what plugin (could be your theme) that is adding the data-uri with the blank
   image, disable that and all will be as it should .. 🙂
 * hope this helps,
    frank

 * could be another plugin or even your theme, maybe disable (& reenable) all plugins
   one by one and even briefly switch themes to identify the culprit?

 * Yeah seems something changed in customizr theme there’s a image lazy load feature
   in it that worked with autooptimize fine until latest cutomizr theme update !
   For now i have that option disabled and autooptimize disabled and images are 
   showing up again.

 * well, disabling the theme’s image lazy load with AO active should work as well?
   if AO turns your bg-images in data-uris, there’s no need to lazy load them any
   more anyhow?

 * i think there’s a secondary issue in AO turn on data uris, then turn off data
   uris will still leave data uris in place.

 * that’s very likely a cache issue [@eva2000](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eva2000/);
   make sure your Autoptimize & page caching plugins’ cache are purged.
