Image Optimization Issue, webP Not Converting, Image Pull Request Issue

please do me a full screenshot on your image optm summary page

what happens if you click that pull button ?

<?php

require( './wp-load.php' );
$args = array(
  'timeout'   => 100,
  'blocking'  => true,
  'sslverify' => false,
  // 'cookies'   => $_COOKIE,
);

$url = 'https://domain.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=async_litespeed&nonce=123123123&litespeed_type=imgoptm_force';
$result = wp_remote_post(esc_url_raw($url), $args);

echo "<pre>";
var_dump($result);
echo "</pre>";

please create a file with this code , put it at same dir as your wp-config.php file , replace domain.com to your actual domain , then open by browser, see what it returns.

yes, that is your problem , somehow somewhere, something , somewhat blocked this request which also renders image optm process inoperable

most likely some of your security plugin , or probably some directives in /wp-admin/.htaccess that blocks it , please check on that.

you may seek assistance from your hosting provider , the server should log the reason for 401

on a normal site it shouldn’t give 401 error.

below is the response how it should be , from my test site
