I addressed this issue privatley with the powers that be a week ago and have heard nothing back regarding a possible resolution. @lucky760 @dag

Any sifter out there have an idea for a potential fix of this issue? Possibly has something to do with SSL as it seems to have coincided with its implimintation https://videosift.com/talk/SSL-Now-Enforced-Site-Wide

Annoying. Must have to do with SSL. Still trying to work out a cause and solution.

So sorry.

That's not entirely true that you heard nothing back. I responded to you on your profile the first time you mentioned it. We know it's a problem and we've been discussing it. If it was an easy fix that we knew how to fix ... it would be fixed. I find it annoying too.

We had to go to SSL because of browser changes that Google made to Chrome - this is an unfortunate side-effect. We've tried a few things to fix it to no avail ... but we'll get there.

Fecesbook has open graph testing tool where you can see exactly what they see https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
I don't use fecesbook, so this is simply speculation on my part.
Perhaps this is an issue with og:image and og:image:secure_url open graph tags?
Since VideoSift is now SSL, maybe it makes sense to remove og:image:secure_url tag and only use og:image with https:// url? If people go to the site using http://, they can still access https:// links.
I checked https://videosift.com/video/elia-the-worlds-most-frustrating-work-of-art using http://iframely.com and http://opengraphcheck.com/ and both show correct thumbnails.

I'd also like to point out that guys are not gzip'ing CSS and JS resources.

My apologies. I get easily wound up sometimes...most all the time. Yes, you did acknowledge the issue, and Im sorry if I came off as if you didn't respond at all. My bad.

No apology required. I know it comes from a good place - just don't want people to think we don't care about this. We've tried a few things. The last thing we tried was this. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8855361/fb-opengraph-ogimage-not-pulling-images-possibly-https but it didn't work. :-(

Thanks mxxcon - we have been using that tool and it's been some help. We think it's something with og:image and ssl.

I think this is fixed - at least in my testing. Thanks @lucky760.
Let us know if this problem pops up again for anyone.

Thanks for pointing this out. CSS actually was already being gzipped, but a config discrepancy caused some JS not to be, but it is now.

lol. I love it!

While you are looking at that, perhaps you guys could also add support for http/2? https://http2.pro/check?url=https%3A//videosift.com/
