Featured Image Quality

  • The quality of the featured image on my site seems to have been downgraded. The image size is 2000×1500 and I’ve tried both 72dpi and 300dpi versions. I have changed the media setting so that the maximum size is at 2000px I’ve also tried disabling image compression by adding a custom plugin with the following code:

    add_filter( 'jpeg_quality', create_function( '', 'return 100;' ) );

    The image still seems to have been compressed when viewing my site on the desktop. Is there a way to increase the quality of the featured image? What is the optimal image size and dpi so that the featured image does not look like it was horribly compressed?

  • HI, same here. Any new ideas on this?

    I came across so many plugins, tips and tricks, but so far none of them worked for me. The image is still crap, something I really hate about WP.

    I even have an issue that the images look great in the backend, and crap in the frontend… it’s frustrating.

    Hope you have some new insight. ??

    Greetings, Ellen

    The featured image is displayed with a custom size set by the theme of max 1400px to save bandwidth and increase site performance. However, I will need to wrap my head around responsive background images for high-resolution displays to solve your issue. I am not sure, but you could probably add a filter to change the custom image size set by the parent theme in a child theme.
