Theme directory images fail to load intermittently on paginated pages

[tusharaddweb]

Theme directory paginated pages sometimes display broken image placeholders for theme. Images eventually load after multiple page refreshes. Issue is intermittent—not consistent on every page load.

Steps to reproduce:

Navigate to paginated theme pages: ​https://wordpress.org/themes/page/2/ (or page 3, 4, etc.)
Some theme show broken placeholder images
Refresh page (F5)
After multiple refreshes, images eventually become visible

Actual behavior:

Images intermittently fail to load, then appear after unpredictable number of page refreshes (sometimes 1-2, sometimes 3-4+). Indicates intermittent CDN cache miss.

Expected behavior:

Theme images should load consistently on first page load without requiring refresh.
