WordPress changes GIFs to PNG by default for thumbnails. The full-size version remains a GIF, though.
When WIO is active, the full size images inserted via the default media uploader are only available as PNG.
The workaround is to reference the original image by manually modifying the source text: remove "wsi-imageoptim-" and change the file extension from png to gif
There may be cases where getting at the source text is not an option.
Ideally it would be great to include an option to either:
ignore converting GIFs
or
reference the original in the case of GIFs
