 * Your plugin is causing ALL requests from Google user agents to throw a 500 error.
 * [Mobile-Friendly Test – Google Search Console](https://search.google.com/test/mobile-friendly/result?id=uk69nqltTG1E8USRiUaJ4g&url=https%3A%2F%2Frbitzer.com%2F)
   
   Please check the results, so what we did was loop through every single plugin
   by deactivating one by one and hitting the site using curl with a Google user
   agent until we saw a 200 code, was your plugin.

       wp-compress-image-optimizer
       HTTP/1.1 200 OK
       ```
   
 * You can see that very last attempt we disabled wp-compress-image-optimizer and
   the URL started throwing a 200 code once again.
