 * We have noticed that the Image optimizer plug-in causes unnecessary vCPU usage.
   Our first report through mail about this was in May but as of yet we still see
   the same issue. We ourselves do not use this plug-in but our customers do use
   it. Please look into the constant vCPU usage this plug-in causes.

 * Hi,
 * Yes, using Image Optimizer by Elementor can increase CPU (and, by extension, 
   vCPU) usage during image optimization tasks.
 * Elementor’s Image Optimizer plugin can cause CPU usage to peak during active 
   optimization processes
 * Image optimization is inherently a resource-intensive process. The CPU demand
   increases, especially when running bulk optimizations or when the plugin repeatedly
   attempts to process problematic files
