 * The Bulk Optimizer shouldn’t stop until it’s optimized everything, though it 
   does have the option to only do select images from the Media Library’s list mode–
   then it would only do whatever images you chose.
    What’s it say when it stops?
 * And yes, if you enable WebP Conversion, it’ll do that during the bulk optimizer.

 * And you’re not doing anything else with the plugin while it’s doing that? No 
   scheduled optimize, WP-CLI commands, or even loading the bulk optimizer in another
   tab?

 * Well, you shouldn’t have to do that, and this is literally something I’ve never
   seen before–and I’ve seen a lot in 9 years 🙂 So let’s do some digging (unless
   you really want to babysit it the whole time).
 * Before you start the bulk optimizer, open up your database using something like
   phpmyadmin. Browse over to the wp_ewwwio_images table, and run a search for records
   where pending = 1.
 * That should give you no results, so then in a separate tab, start the bulk optimizer.
 * Once it’s done with the scanning, run that search in phpmyadmin again, or hit
   refresh. You should have lots of results now.
    Go ahead and start the optimization
   now, and then go back to the phpmyadmin tab, and hit refresh. As it goes through
   every few images on the bulk, check phpmyadmin again (hit refresh), and see if
   the numbers are counting down normally.
 * Of course, if it keeps up what it’s been doing, at some point, it will say it’s
   done. Refresh one last time, and see how many pending images are there (if any).
   
   Then, also check the wp_ewwwio_queue table, and see if there are any records 
   in there.

 * So it stopped in 238/7219 and the were some data on the tables
    i took that screenshot
   after the finish, and while the execution the numbers were counting down normally
 * this is the _images table

 * By the way i am using cloudflare, do i need to set cache to development mode 
   or is it irrelevant?

 * I don’t think Cloudflare should affect anything. Interesting that it seemed to
   get further along though…
    But really strange that it thinks it finished when
   there are still images pending/queued. Am I understanding right that you took
   all those screenshots after it finished?

 * Yes. I know its hard to believe because it makes no sense…
 * whhen i refresh the page after the finish it says the usual stuf that i have 
   like 590 images that i can optimaze and i do the scan after that the same cycle
   again

 * Alright, sorry for the delay, had a release to get done before the weekend is
   upon us 🙂
    If you haven’t already finished the process, the next thing we should
   check is to see what response comes from admin-ajax.php on that last request.
   I have a video here that shows the process on Firefox, but it’s similar on Chrome:
   [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAC1SVlh7o0&t=1s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAC1SVlh7o0&t=1s)
 * The responses should be JSON, but whatever it is, that could help to shine some
   light on things.
    Additionally, let’s try a full debugging run during that process:
   1. Enable Debugging on the EWWW IO Support tab. 2. Look for the link that says
   something like “Remove Debug Log”, and click that so we have a fresh start–the
   log will be very long from a bulk process anyway, so we don’t want it any longer
   than necessary. 3. Run the Bulk Optimizer until it stops again. 4. Go back to
   the support tab, and look for the link that lets you view the debug log. Note
   this is different than the “debug information” that is displayed right on the
   support tab there. Word of caution, the log is going to be very large, so if 
   you can’t load it in your browser and download/save it from that link, login 
   with FTP or a file manager on your site so that you can download it from wp-content/
   ewww/debug.log
 * Please post that log via dropbox or something suitable. Alternatively, you can
   send the link to us via our contact form at [https://ewww.io/contact-us/](https://ewww.io/contact-us/)
   *
   it might let you attach the log directly, not sure what the size limit is there.
   Usually, if you put it in a .zip file, it’ll shrink the size considerably.
