Okay…thanks for the unsolicited advice. I switched off the JetPack image optimize settings, and that seems to have fixed the issue for remaining garbage images.
I’m still not planning to use ShortPixel again any time in the near future. The settings are too aggressive, and I can’t waste any time more time playing around with them.
I understand. I’m not looking for any more assistance.
I use W3 Total Cache and have cleared all of the caches. I still have garbage quality images.
Honestly, it took me a long time to figure out that ShortPixel was ruining my image quality. I didn’t realize that the default settings would be so horrible and assumed there was another issue at play. I would have contacted ShortPixel right away if I’d realized what was happening.
As it is now, I’ve already wasted so much time, I don’t want to go back and forth with support. I just want to move on. If you can explain another solution for clearing the cache, feel free. Otherwise, I really don’t have any more time to deal with trial and error.

Hi Alex,
As I’ve said, I’ve spent a ton of time adjusting the settings and image size. No matter what I did, my images looked like garbage. The ShortPixel size reduction is so aggressive, even on the best image quality settings, that it’s not hard to see why.
An image compression plugin is one of those things you should be able to set and forget. I don’t have time to check on it constantly or re-optimize lots of images.
Additionally, when you restore your images to original, they should look good. I am left with loads of garbage quality images that I need to re-upload. I’m very upset about this outcome.
