 * This plugin gets a ton of support requests regarding PHP timeouts, or just the
   plugin taking a while if you have several image sizes. Could be worth considering
   setting up some asynchronous handling of optimization. There are a few libraries
   for WordPress, like [the one described and linked to here](https://torquemag.io/2016/01/use-asynchronous-php-wordpress/),
   that are designed to do this. That way users can get on with inserting and editing
   media while TinyPNG works in the background.

 * Hello Exlev91,
 * Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We do indeed get some support requests about
   PHP timeouts. We will add researching how the plugin can be improved with asynchronous
   handling to our improvements lists. Thank you for providing some examples!
 * If this gets implemented in the future, we will make sure to notify you and give
   you a special thank you!
