I installed the latest version of the mediavine plugin which had a note in the changelog:

FIX: Remove unnecessary Autoptimize clear on activate and deactivate

And that appears to have fixed this problem.

Thanks for your help!

* this is not a fix but an (ugly) workaround which would have to be re-done after each update of AO (the filter you tried should just work)

Yes, I understand. This is why I’m first trying to understand why this is happening in the first place.

* it’s still unclear to me why you suspect it could be mediavine? ??

The times this happened (twice) was immediately after I updated the mediavine plugin. That plugin provides recipe cards for my blog (it’s a baking blog and therefore I can’t disable it…) and it is still under active development.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the reply. I’ll be chatting with the mediavine folks today to see what may be causing this. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to shut of that extension, because it’s a key part of my blog.

Once I know more about it and if it’s still a problem, I will put the suggested fix in and let you know what the outcome was.

OK, so what I ended up doing was to move the autoptimize.php to autoptimize.php.save. Then WordPress deactivated it because the plugin file no longer existed.

Is there any way to get this back to normal or help provide more feedback. It would seem that 24 hours of calls from my machine to ao_speedup_cachebuster is not the most productive use of CPU time.

I believe this is due to an odd interaction between ao and another plugin (mediavine-create), but I’m not sure what.
