Image opt request limit

Try use the Clean Up Unfinished Data button under the “Image Optimization” menu item in LiteSpeed Cache and see if that fixes it.

Alternatively, you can try upgrading to a new beta build: https://github.com/lucasRolff/lscache_wp/wiki/Switching-to-the-beta-image-optimizer – it changes how the optimization process is done, and should be a lot faster.

Also ensure under Image Optimization -> Image Optimization Settings that you’ve set “Auto Request Cron” and “Auto Pull Cron” to “ON” – this way, it’s not a manual process.

Thanks much LucasRolff. Auto Request Cron was off, I turned it on and that helps a bit – second request while one is already running seems to be queued up rather than rejected. Request limit is still stuck at 36 though. There was a bunch of stuff needing “Clean Up Unfinished Data”, but doing so caused the unoptimized images count to jump to over 1000! I’m guessing the cleanup was needed though. I’m a little leery of beta’s, so I’ll look forward to a future update, things are working well enough for now. Marking as resolved.

I logged back in and – surprise! – image optimization is all done! Auto Request Cron must have done the trick. Requests were made while I was logged out, off shopping for lawn fertilizer and groceries (while wearing a western bandanna face cover and social distancing) so the 36 request limit was no limit at all. Thanks again for your help LucasRolff.
