Images appearing blurry

Hi, when I run this plugin, and refresh my home page, the images come out blurry, and they just stay that way – they don’t continue loading the clearer image eventually.

After running the optimization the first time, I went in to put the settings to the maximum allowable quality, but still get the same thing. I have tried a hard refresh multiple times. Does cache need to clear for this or something? Is there a manual way to clear the cache for these images?

Here is a comparison showing the difference: https://cloudup.com/ckteq8QygGt (same site, the blurry image is no the staging site I’m using to test this plugin, and the clear image is on the live site where I have not yet used this plugin).

I always pre-crop and run my images through tinypng.com before uploading, so they were already compressed (mostly jpeg) to begin with. Could that be the reason why?

I see you have this added plugin to remove the blurry effect altogether: https://bit.ly/optml-rm-lqip – however I would still like progressive loading, but just not for it to stay that way. Is that possible?

I’m also getting this 0.0% message, and it’s only showing that may home page images are being optimized so far – does this plugin typically take a long time to get through all imagery? https://cloudup.com/cZPY9CfNj2S When I click “Refresh status” nothing changes.

In source code I also don’t see my files being converted to Webp. Does this also take quite a bit of time to complete?

Thank you
