 * Hi ninopro, that’s completely normal. Our plugin does not specify the external
   featured image in the `src` attribute of an `img` tag, but it uses CSS. The image
   url (attribute `src`) is set to a 1px-sized transparent gif image, and the real
   image is set using CSS’s `background` property.
 * I hope this clarifies the doubts!
