Images not showing

Hello to everyone.

To sum up my WordPress website’s main issue, a major selection of my images are not showing up.

I have the latest version of WordPress if that’s any help and the latest version of the Tempera theme. The images were showing up before by the way. It has only been in the last few days that they don’t appear anymore.

My website is https://www.sportstainmentchamber.com

That is so that you can see the problem for yourself.

I haven’t downloaded any new plugins since then. I did copy and paste the following piece of code into the .htaaccess file to fix an issue I encountered regarding my website’s speed after I got an error message in a pink field at the top of one of the settings pages on the “W3 Total Cache” plugin (a plugin that was installed before these issues came up). I didn’t put this in the Tempera forum because I hadn’t made any changes or upgrades to the theme in the days before these issues came up.

The code that I pasted into the .htaaccess file:

# Begin hotlink protection #

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
