In the style sheet via search, I did not find max_execution. I have yet to try and find the php file via bluehost.. I will try that later today.. but, * then I checked the faster lossy optimization option and I it went through 9 pics then stalled again… but, it only shows now that I have 1352 images that need optimizing which is only 1 less than the previous number. * Plugin Author [Shane Bishop](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nosilver4u/) * (@nosilver4u) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bulk-optimization-keeps-stalling/#post-7102357) * Bluehost should have a way to install a custom php.ini file.

rate-limiting the ajax requests. Can you please send me an admin login via [https://ewww.io/contact-us/](https://ewww.io/contact-us/) so I can take a look to see what sort of error we’re getting in the console? * Thread Starter [Getfitgofigure](https://wordpress.org/support/users/getfitgofigure/) * (@getfitgofigure) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bulk-optimization-keeps-stalling/#post-7102406) * admin to wordpress or bluehost * Plugin Author [Shane Bishop](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nosilver4u/) * (@nosilver4u) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bulk-optimization-keeps-stalling/#post-7102407) * just to wordpress, shouldn’t be any need for the bluehost configs at this point * Plugin Author [Shane Bishop](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nosilver4u/) * (@nosilver4u) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bulk-optimization-keeps-stalling/#post-7102418) * Ah, I see the problem now. You have a ton of rather large PNG files on your site that should be JPGs instead. The one it is stalling on right now is 741kb, and that is rather large in the world of PNG files. The fix would be to up the execution time rather high, 300+ ought to do it. * However, a quick check in the logs for squatting-2.png shows that it is only making it through the original image and a few resizes though before it gets cut off, so I think there is something else causing timeouts besides php. Watching the javascript console confirms this, as it returns the error response in about 40 seconds. Also, the raw response looks like this (which is not a standard apache/ php error page as far as I know): * ``` [an error occurred while processing this directive] ``` * So, I there are two options here. First, you could convert a bunch of those images to JPG, but you’ll need to disable all PNG processing when you do those (and I would do them one by one). Anything that is photographic in nature, is going to be better as a JPG. EWWW can only search the wp_posts table to update urls, so take your time, and make sure you know where an image is found so you can check to see if it the url was updated properly. The second would be to check with Bluehost to see how you can get rid of those timeouts, and just optimize the images “as is”.
