 * For some reason the plugin has stopped working. I switched from Smush a few weeks
   ago, and it was working fine until today.
 * When I upload images, the thumbnail is not generated and it will eventually give
   an http error. there may be other image sizes not generated but I cannot see 
   those.
    If I disable ewww plugin then everything works as normal. If I then re-
   enabled ewww and try to optimize an image it just spins and spins for a long 
   time
 * Yes wordpress and all my plugins are up to date.
