Welcome to the Mcirosoft Q&A forum.
I understand you are facing performance issues for your WordPress website where the image load time is slow, and the videos are not working. You have already optimized the website, but site is loading very slowly due to these image and video issues which are stored in Azure Blob Storage.
The performance of an application can be subjective, especially from a user perspective. Many factors might affect the performance of an Azure storage service from the client application perspective. These factors might operate in the storage service, the client, or the network infrastructure. You can take a look at the troubleshooting guideline here to determine the cause of client latency issues.
You can also take look at this Performance and scalability checklist for Blob storage which discusses about the proven practices for developing high-performance applications with Blob storage. You can go through the checklist and determine any change for website to improve the performance like
- Consider using block blob storage accounts, which are optimized for high transaction rates and low and consistent latency.
- Use a content delivery network such as Azure CDN or Azure Front Door which can cache the static data closer to the client location thus reducing the latency.
- Using SAS and CORS to avoid unnecessary load on your web application.
Additionally, you also mentioned about the videos fetched from blob storage are not working. I accessed your website above and observed the same. After looking the developer tools in my browser, I observed a CORS error (Please see the attached image below) blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. This might be the reason why the video is not working. You can follow the documentation here to enable CORS for your Azure Storage.
Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you!
