2500 Images – Perfomance issues?

  • I just took over a WordPress page from a client: They use a total of 2500 images, most of them not optimised. It is a mess.

    Im constantly looking for a neat option to minify them all in one go and tumbled over this neat plugin. However it seems to have some problems with this amount of files. Smushing them all leads to an infinite loader.

    Examining existing attachments. This may take a few moments…

    Other people here have pointed out similar problems about buttons not doing anything.
    I’m wondering: Is this a Plugin Concern or a problem with the smushit API?

  • Not only will it take awhile (It took around an hour for 800+ images) but it will essentially double your attachment total size because it makes a copy of your original image.

    What needs to happen is that an option to remove the original image be given once everything is confirmed as working.

    Hi Jackyjake,

    It’s more a plugin concern due to WordPress API. The plugin first browse into the database to fetch all the pictures attachment, which can be pretty long if you have a huge amount of images.

    We’ll think about it to find other solutions for this issue.

    Best regards,
    Charles
