 * Hi
 * Just updated to the latest 4.9
 * Here is my settings : [https://i.postimg.cc/KcTVpB3y/optDB.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/KcTVpB3y/optDB.jpg)
 * Then click on Optimize summary then… :
 * This request takes too long to process, it is timed out by the server. If it 
   should not be timed out, please contact administrator of this web site to increase‘
   Connection Timeout’.
 * Thanks

 * Hey Pako,
 * That’s weird…
    My plugin increases the time out limit to a couple of hours.
 * Maybe some other plugin resets the time out limit.
 * What you can do is temporarily deactivate all other plugins and see if that fixes
   the issue.
 * Please let me know.
 * peace,
    Rolf

 * You can try it there…

 * Hey Pako,
 * Another thing you could try:
    Uncheck all the cleaning options on the settings
   page (settings such as ‘Delete trashed items’, ‘Delete spammed items’, etc)
 * Then check them one by one and run the plugin.
    See what happens.
 * peace,
    Rolf
