Bulk optimize "hangs"

Since you have advanced compression turned on, PNG images can often take a while to optimize. In this case, the full size is taking 17 seconds, and when you add in the resizes, it is likely exceeding the max timeout on your server. The setting you need to increase is usually the max_execution_time

Thanks. But are you sure – I’m guessing max_execution_time doesn’t matter when using the cloud version (which I am)? Also, it hangs for 10+ minutes and I have to close the browser tab, so to me it doesn’t seem like a execution time problem?

It technically shouldn’t matter, but depending on the server, it can make a difference. Do you know how to check the javascript console for errors? If you’re using chrome, you can go to More tools->javascript console and it should show you what it is doing, and you may be able to drill in and see a little more detail on what is happening. All that said, I still strongly suspect the max_execution_time.

Ohh.. doh! I found out the PNG image was 15mb ! No wonder it hung! Works fine now. Sorry! ??
