Hi Patrick,

I am still struggeling with this issue, unfortunately.

In general, Smush shouldn’t be affecting how the website loads, however, could you also check the server logs to see if there are any logs related to Smush picked during the time you notice the issue?

where do I check this?

Somehow it seemed that the problem always appeared in the evening CET while it seemed to work fine in the morning….?!

Hi Predrag,

thanks for your comment.

First, I have to say that i deactivated Smush again and checked the cashes. So for now, the website does work, thankfully – although it is slow due to the pic sizes. But once I turned Smush on, it collapsed again and stuck instead of being quicker.

So I have a general question: Does this problem now have something to do with the free version of Smush or my theme/ server…?
Also, would it in this case help to work with the paid version of Smush?

Thanks again!

Hi Adam, thanks for your reply. I am not super into the whole topic, so that I try to answer as good as I can:

If site is performing slow even after plugins are deactivated then it usually means that the issue is either not related to these plugins at all or it is but in a bit more “tricky” way – there was some kind of conflict with other plugins and some affected resources got cached.

Indeed, I used a different plugin inbetween to resize the pictures on my page. I guess it might caused the problem?! How can I make the page run better again?

Activating Hummingbird does not help with this issue?!
There are no server-side caches active.

There were no permanent changes besides the fact that I updated the wp-config.php file to the code 0644
