 * The bulk compression is constantly being stopped by an “Internal error Gateway
   Time-out”.
    What’s causing this? Is there any way to stop this from happening?

 * Hi Louis,
 * I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble using the plugin. A common cause
   for this type of errors is when the images submitted for compression are very
   big; if you’re able to change the value of `max_execution_time` in your PHPInfo
   you should be able to avoid the problem. The root cause is that the compression
   takes too long for WordPress, as you can imagine.
