Your site seems to have an issue with loopback requests. Please try again and if the problem persists find out more here.
(BTW when I clicked on here, it just returned an article explaining how to use Smush with nothing about loopback requests)
That was when I went to Site Health and found the message:
Your site could not complete a Loopback Request
Below is this message:
The loopback request returned an unexpected http status code, 405, it was not possible to determine if this will prevent features from working as expected.

I tried it again and it still doesn’t work. When I click on the link, it just went to a documentation page with no tutorials on troubleshooting.
I also tried deactivating all my plugins and it still doesn’t work

There is a problem with every original file in the upload directory. If I put files in a separate directory and choose ‘compress directory’ option then the compression works fine.
WordPress 4.9.13
Smush 3.3.2
I have the free version of Smush and I’m trying to Bulk Smush the files on my website. It worked for around 1000 files (doing 50 at a time). Now it says I have 0 of 1537 images optimised. When I click on Bulk Smush it says it’s smushing but it never changes from 0% and no files get smushed. I’ve tried deactivating the plugin and re-activating it. This doesn’t help. I’ve even deleted and reinstalled it, but this still doesn’t help. Any ideas?
]]><div class=”wp-smush-bulk-wrapper “>
<button type=”button” class=”wp-smush-all sui-button sui-button-blue” title=”Click to start Bulk Smushing images in Media Library” disabled=”disabled”>
BULK SMUSH NOW </button>
</div>
Can you please tell me if I’m doing something wrong? Or can I fix this?
Thanks

I have contacted my ISP and they do not block any outgoing connections from plugins, and quote that “many of our customers do use Smush successfully. So I suggest contacting the developer of the plugin and requesting a fix.”
I also have another site where the automatic smushing worked this morning with a number of new image uploads but it stopped working 2 hours ago and 2 new images are now sitting in the Library with Smush Now! button displayed.
I see that this error occurs frequently with Smush from previous posts here and in other forums. Is this an error that means your servers are overloaded or is it a bug?

If I try to smush an individual image, the process starts, but no confimation or error message.
