Title: PHP Log, [DEBUG] : Should we use webp?

However, I am witnessing a new PHP record – `PHP Log, [DEBUG] : Should we use webp?` * This is being written to the log continuously. If I disable your plugin, the problem goes away. * How can I avoid this please? * Kind regards, Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * [webmasterfreya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webmasterfreya/) * (@webmasterfreya) * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-log-debug-should-we-use-webp/#post-15708058) * Very very bad idea to notify the users of this plugin this way to tell that there is a new function. Every request creates an entry in the php error log. * I’ve put under settings “Log events to the PHP error log ” off * [Harshad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bornforphp/) * (@bornforphp) * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-log-debug-should-we-use-webp/#post-15711047) * [@webmasterfreya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webmasterfreya/) [@backpackingseries](https://wordpress.org/support/users/backpackingseries/) I’ll check this issue with our development team and update you soon. * Thank you for your time and patience. * [Jim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jwmc/) * (@jwmc) * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-log-debug-should-we-use-webp/#post-15712996) * My log looks like this: constant stream * ``` [06-Jun-2022 14:30:02 UTC] [DEBUG] : Setting up .htaccess file [06-Jun-2022 14:30:02 UTC] [DEBUG] : Should we use webp?

Regular debug monitoring is debatable, but I won’t do that here. I do want to make the point that I have all the image processing features of WP Optimize turned off. I use it only for cache and minify. If the plugin were efficient, then, I would expect it would not be chasing the image processing issues every few seconds and that part of the code would not be called at all, whether it shows up in the debug log or not. * Thread Starter [backpackingseries](https://wordpress.org/support/users/backpackingseries/) * (@backpackingseries) * [4 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-log-debug-should-we-use-webp/#post-15721417) * Thank you [@webulous](https://wordpress.org/support/users/webulous/) * I’m not using the plugin’s image processing module at this time. Therefore, I’m hoping it should not log such messages. * Kind regards, * [Harshad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bornforphp/) * (@bornforphp) * [3 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-log-debug-should-we-use-webp/#post-15725108) * [@backpackingseries](https://wordpress.org/support/users/backpackingseries/) This should be fixed in next release Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) The topic ‘PHP Log, [DEBUG] : Should we use webp?’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/wp-optimize/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1552899) * [WP-Optimize – Cache, Compress images, Minify & Clean database to boost page speed & performance](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-optimize/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-optimize/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-optimize/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-optimize/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-optimize/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-optimize/reviews/) * 8 replies * 6 participants * Last reply from: [Harshad](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bornforphp/) * Last activity: [3 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-log-debug-should-we-use-webp/#post-15725108) * Status: resolved
