Optimizing large number of images

  • Hi!

    Really great plugin. Thanks for your work!
    I’ve just tested in WordPress with 40 000 attachment and I need to say: It was so much pain to optimize this large number of images.

    Could you consider to add e.g Action Scheduler for optimizing pictures that are already uploaded? (Not freshly uploaded pictures)

    You can’t close the browser tab with the process running, because it would be stopped.

    Moreover some of the AJAX requests are sometimes failing during the batch optimize process. In that case I need to refresh the page manually and restart the process of converting images.

    Hello @piotr_gk,

    Thanks for your message.

    The latest version of the plugin (v3.2.3) slightly changes the approach to error handling when converting images. The process can only be interrupted when the server blocks the request or the memory limit is exhausted. Then, by restarting the conversion, the process will continue. You don’t have to start it all over again.

    Sending requests via Ajax allows you to bypass many server quota problems, such as memory limit. In my opinion, advanced solutions for managing such a process are not needed. I want the plugin to be simple and work 99.9% of the time. I understand that there are cases like yours, that Ajax is not the optimal solution, but try to understand me – I create a universal tool. I cannot take care of 100% of users, even though I would like to.

    How does it look exactly for you? What’s the problem? Could you describe it to me in detail?

    Best,
    Mateusz
