 Priority:  low             |  Milestone:
Component:  Showcase        |   Keywords:  seo
----------------------------+--------------------
 Showcase pages (like https://wordpress.org/showcase/the-streamy-awards/)
 and the [https://wordpress.org/themes/commercial/ commercial themes page]
 use https://wordpress.com/mshots/v1/ as an image CDN.

 However, that `/mshots/v1/` path is blocked via
 https://wordpress.com/robots.txt (as are equivalent paths, like
 https://s0.wp.com/mshots/v1/).

 That means that Google etc can't see any of those images, which causes SEO
 problems.

 These images should be altered to use https://s.w.org/.
