The new web site is "responsive" or so they say. Large images are sliced and diced into smaller versions for display on a small device window, saving load time. The smarty-pants part is it figuring out your screen across the board.
Checking what was viewable and what the image tags looked like, I grabbed a bunch / with a tip of the sombrero to online:
$ ls -l *rocky*

spot lighters 211763 Jun 20 2025 6855cb[*]_rocky horror_9235210_orig.jpg
I used the A list "ico, SVG, svg, jpeg, jpg, bmp, gif, png, heic" but no SVG came through. And PDF failed in a robotic way.
The p-500 means the file got downsized by the automat to fit in a 500-pixel holey window.
$ exiftool *rocky* | egrep "^File Size|^Image Size"
File Size : 76 KiB
Image Size : 500x752
File Size : 76 KiB
Image Size : 500x752
File Size : 207 KiB
Image Size : 532x800
Cut about 2/3 in size for only 500 pixels versus 532.
One has the tags I embossed, at least on the largest chunk.

PDF tag? sure, why not.
$ strings *D48* | grep -i spath
<pdf:Author>Jim Spath</pdf:Author>
$ strings *D48*500* | grep -i spath
$ strings *D48*800* | grep -i spath
On the other site, images over 2000 pixels wide get de-tagged.

Your image was automatically resized to 2000x1085 pixels.

Your image was automatically resized to 2000x882 pixels.
Once that happens, the tell-tale is a different processor. I'm guessing GD beneath, maybe Python middleware?

What else?
Oh, yah. Pictures or it didn't happen.
Still looking for where I snipped off the orientation.
