    We have been facing image related issues in WordPress for sometime now.
    Blog images get corrupted automatically. Team has to manually recover them whenever we find out this issue in any blog.
    All the images on SV IN case study page get blurred again and again(mention page URL). To fix this, we clear the cache every time.
    Most of the time either images are reloading very slow or remain blur.
    What could be the reasons behind it? Can we fix it permanently?

    Hi there,

    I took a look at your website and I see what you mean about the images being blurry. That must be very frustrating!

    When I open the image itself, I notice that the blurry images are very small. For example, this first blog image is 60px by 60px — it’s tiny! I also noticed that your logo image (link) is smaller than it is being displayed on your website, which makes it slightly blurry as well.

    How large are the original images you are uploading?

    Some suggestions:

    1. Have you checked your media settings? It could be that your images are getting uploaded automatically to be a much smaller size. You also might check your settings to make sure you’re not accidentally using a thumbnail size when you need a larger size. This quick video tutorial will teach you how to check your upload sizes: Managing Media Sizes

    2. Are you using any image optimization plugins? They could be shrinking your photos automatically to optimize space in your media library.

    I would start there to discover why the images being used there are so small. Good luck! I hope this helps.

    You should also be aware that WordPress has a function that will create default image sizes. The function usually lives in the functions.php file of your theme but is not limited to this function. The function is called add_image_size. WordPress saves the default image that you uploaded. but adds additional sizes based on this function. The function cannot increase the size of an image. It only reduces the size and can crop the image to make it fit a specific size.

    If the original image is very small and you have no access to a larger version. There are AI applications that can increase the size up to 8x the size of the original. If you know python you can use the pillow library to increase the size without occurring a charge. If it is a logo or a simple diagram image you might want to look into SVG graphics. SVG image can pretty much grow or string as needed. They have a lot of benefits because they are small and can bind to the dom of the site.
