• Not overly impressed.

    It does the basic job of compressing images, but the process is painfully slow, even for a single file.

    There is a very high rate of “Unknown Error Occurred” approximately 80%

    One glitch is that with some highly optimized files the thumbnail in the Media Libary is grey and not visible. Thank God I put in verbose descriptions.

    Much work to do to get it enterprise worthy.

    Hi @thumbwind

    ?Sorry to hear about the issue!

    What you can do to debug the Unknown error issue, is to activate this helper plugin and check its Info page. You can send us the screenshot of that page, especially the fields that have a red background (meaning it could be a potential cause of the problem).

    All potentially problematic parts will have red background so they could easily see them.

    The most common issues:

    – cURL version is lower than v7.34
    – self-requests (wp-cron, admin-ajax, wp-post) are blocked by firewall or timing out for some reason
    – (these will not have a red background): memory limit and/or timeout values are low. It would be ideal to set memory to 256M and timeout to 60s at least and test. You can do it by adding the following lines of code in wp-config.php:

    define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’ );
    set_time_limit(0);

    – Imagick (package responsible for image resizing) is failing. It will not be in red background as well, but you could test it by deactivating image resize feature and activating this helper plugin.

    Other things you can do from your end is:

    – skip all thumbnails from optimization (in Imagify settings)
    – turn off WebP creation
    – turn off Resize feature

    And try again.

    Feel free to try these and send me a screenshot of Imagify Tools Info page, and we will help further.

    Best Regards
    Marko
