Garbage – makes site extremely slow and WordPress admin unusable

jasonbear August 3, 2021

Junk. Fix your product! I wasted 2 days trying to figure out why my entire site was absurdly slow and why my Wordpress admin kept getting “504 Gateway Timeout” errors that made it entirely unusable! I installed this thing to speed up my site, and you made it 100 times slower . . . and unusable! Great job! I couldn’t even load the plugins page to deactivate plugins one-by-one to identify the culprit. I had to rename each plugin folder via FTP in order to disable each plugin. As soon as I disable “Specify Missing Image Dimensions,” the problem goes away! REMOVE THIS HARMFUL PLUGIN!
